Abstract:
Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP), also known as a polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, is the most common dermatosis of pregnancy. Typically, PUPPP starts with erythema and urticarial papular eruption in the abdominal striae and may extend to the buttocks and thighs. It usually evolves in the third trimester and resolves rapidly in the postpartum. It is not usually recurrent in subsequent pregnancies. We report herein two patients with postpartum PUPPP.
