pubmed-article:18286948 | pubmed:abstractText | Any pruritus occurring in pregnant women may represent a sensorial manifestation unrelated to pregnancy, but it may represent the consequence of a pregnancy-specific dermatosis. This latter group encompass pruritus gravidarum with or without intrahepatic cholestasis, pemphigoid gestationis, polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, prurigo gestationis, acute folliculitis of pregnancy, impetigo herpetiformis and the progesterone auto-immune dermatitis. Fetal risk of morbidity is recognized for pruritus gravidarum with intrahepatic cholestasis, pemphigoid gestationis and impetigo herpetiformis. | lld:pubmed |
