Abstract :
State of pregnancy can manifest with various physiological and pregnancy specific dermatoses. The physiological changes include pigmentary, vascular and connective tissue changes. The specific dermatoses includes Atopic Eruption of Pregnancy, Polymorphic eruption of Pregnancy, Pemphigoid Gestationis and Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy. Pemphigoid gestationis (PG) is a rare autoimmune bullous disease exclusively associated with pregnancy. It develops during the third trimester of pregnancy and is associated with maternal and foetal complications. Here, we report a case of PG which was successfully managed with systemic steroids with a favourable outcome.
