POLYMORPHIC ERUPTION OF PREGNANCY. CLINICAL CASE AND LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy are the most common dermatosis of pregnancy, causing intense itching and rashes in typical areas. During pregnancy, this pathology poses no risk to the mother or the fetus. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and a comprehensive examination is required to distinguish it from other specific prenatal dermatoses. Glucocorticosteroids are used to alleviate symptoms, however, after a few weeks the disease spontaneously regresses.
