ABSTRACT:

Objective: To decide on recurrence of pruritic dermatoses in pregnant females. Methods: This cross-sectional examination was led in the Silent Obstetrics Division of Mayo Hospital, Lahore from November 2018 to October 2019, for the phase of six months in 244 pregnant females aged 20-40 years. Explicit pruritic dermatoses of pregnancy remained investigated and recorded on pre-planned and examined proforma: pemphigoid growths, polymorphic ejection of pregnancy, prurigo of pregnancy, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, inflammation of the skin of pregnancy and pruritic folliculitis of pregnancy. Results: Amongst 244 pregnant females, 15 (6.8%) had pruritic dermatosis of pregnancy, whereas in the remaining 226 (96.2%), no specific dermatosis of pregnancy remained observed. Of these 16 patients, polymorphic ejection of pregnancy was found in 6 (36.8%) cases, pregnancy dermatitis in 5 (29.7%), pemphigoid growths in 3 (16.4%), pregnancy prurigo in 2 (8.2%), pregnancy intrahepatic cholestasis in 1 (7.1%), and pregnancy pruritic folliculitis in 2 (8.2%) tolerant. Dermatoses of pregnancy were distinguished in 6 (36.8%) cases in 20-25 year age set, 4 (28.6%) patients in 27-31 year age set, 2 (14.3%) cases in 32-36 year age set, and 3 (21.4%) patients in 37-41 year age set. Conclusion: Late pregnancy pruritic dermatoses are normal in pregnant females and would be measured when assessing pregnant females. Polymorphic ejection of pregnancy is the maximum common pruritic dermatosis of pregnancy, trailed via inflammation of the skin of pregnancy. Key words Pregnancy, pemphigoid gestations, polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, prurigo of pregnancy
