Preferred Label : Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy;
ICD-11 definition : Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy is a dermatosis which occurs almost exclusively
in primigravidae or women with multiple pregnancy. It is associated with above average
weight gain in pregnancy and it is thought that distension of abdominal skin is important
in the pathogenesis: the precise mechanism is not understood. The eruption characteristically
first appears in the third trimester of pregnancy as intensely itchy erythematous
urticarial papules and plaques in and around the abdominal striae distensae. In some
women it may then become more generalized. Onset is sometimes delayed until the immediate
postpartum period. It does not usually recur in subsequent pregnancies.;
