“…Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay using recombinant desmoglein 3 can also confirm the diagnosis. 36 Systemic treatment is usually required (prednisolone, plasmapheresis, plasma exchange, dapsone, or azathioprine). 35 36 Close collaboration between obstetricians and dermatologists is essential to reduce maternal and infant mortality.…”

Skin problems are common during pregnancy, but accurate diagnosis can be difficult. Skin changes in pregnancy can be broadly divided into physiological (box 1), 1 specific dermatoses of pregnancy, and other common skin diseases in pregnancy.In our experience of pregnancy skin clinics, approximately 50% of women present with an exacerbation of a common inflammatory skin disease (for example, eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea) or a skin infection. Around 30-50% of women present with one of the specific dermatoses of pregnancy (pemphigoid gestationis, polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, or atopic eruption of pregnancy). 2 Pregnancy causes specific management issues, and there is often confusion over which treatments can be used safely for treating skin disease in pregnancy. Itching can occur in up to 1 in 5 normal pregnancies (physiological pruritus) but is also the presenting symptom of many of the pregnancy dermatoses (box 2).This review aims to familiarise readers with the clinical presentations of common skin diseases in pregnancy, outline the steps for confirming an accurate diagnosis, and evaluate the safest and appropriate treatments.

The specific dermatoses of pregnancy, which have been renamed and reclassified several times, represent a heterogenous group of pruritic skin diseases presenting in pregnancy. They comprise the following: pemphigoid gestationis, polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, atopic eruption of pregnancy and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. There are also a number of other skin diseases that can be influenced by pregnancy (infections, inflammatory skin diseases, skin tumours) and a number of physiological skin changes that occur in pregnancy. This chapter will discuss the presentation and management of common skin diseases in pregnancy with potential implications for both mother and child.

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of dermatological conditions affecting women during pregnancy. It includes specific dermatoses of pregnancy, itch during pregnancy, systemic and cutaneous infections with specific relevance to dermatology, autoimmune and inflammatory skin conditions affecting pregnant woman and the management of skin tumours during pregnancy. Physiological skin changes during pregnancy and an overview on safe treatments for use in dermatological conditions during pregnancy are reviewed.
