We report a 24-year-old female with persistent present with pruritic and painful urticarial plaques unresponsive to convential treatment. Histopathologically, it demonstrates a perivascular and interstitial neutrophilic infiltrate with leukocytoclasia without evidence of vasculitis or dermal edema consistent with neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis.

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare autoinflammatory systemic disorder classically characterised by inflammatory polyarthritis, daily fevers and a transient asymptomatic salmon-pink maculopapular rash that typically arises with the onset of fevers. We report a case of AOSD presenting with a severely pruritic urticarial eruption starting 6 weeks prior to the onset of fever and arthritis and complicated by macrophage activation syndrome. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of diverse cutaneous manifestations of AOSD to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment to improve disease outcomes.

Gestational pemphigoid is a rare, autoimmune, subepidermal bullous disease with an incidence of 1 in 50,000 pregnancies, displaying itself through pruritic erythema and urticarial papules and plaques that evolve into tense bullae. Histopathological findings consist of subepidermal vesicles with perivascular eosinophils and lymphocytes, and direct immunofluorescence reveals C3 complement and, more rarely, IgG in a linear band along the basement membrane. The course is usually self-limiting within 6 months after delivery but, later, can be triggered by subsequent pregnancies, menstruation, or treatment with oral contraceptives.
