Dermatoses of pregnancy are the inflammatory skin diseases that are specific to women while they are pregnant. While some use the term 'polymorphic eruption of pregnancy' to cover these, this term is a synonym used in the UK for Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy, which is the commonest of these skin conditions.
Skin diseases seen during pregnancy include:
| Frequency | Onset in pregnancy | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 49.7% | Early | Eczema in pregnancy |
| 21.6% | Late | Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy |
| 4.25% Saudi Arabia |
Late | Impetigo herpetiformis |
| 4.2% | Late | Gestational pemphigoid also termed pemphigoid gestationis, and previously called herpes gestationis |
| 3% | Late | Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy may also be included in this list. |
| 0.8% | Early | Prurigo gestationis |
| 0.2% | Early | Pruritic folliculitis of pregnancy |
| Late | Spangler's Papular dermatitis of pregnancy | |
