Article Synopsis
- PUPPP, or pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy, typically appears in the third trimester of first-time pregnancies and is an inflammatory skin condition whose exact cause is still unclear.
- Symptoms include an intensely itchy rash with swollen red bumps, and diagnosis is confirmed through clinical observation and skin biopsy.
- Treatment often involves topical corticosteroids and antihistamines, and while serious cases may require systemic corticosteroids, the prognosis for both mother and baby is very positive, with resolution of symptoms after delivery.
