[Pregnancy dermatoses].

Dermatoses of pregnancy are relatively rare. The terminology becomes increasingly confusing, as only few of these skin eruptions are proved entities. Apart from pruritus gravidarum and herpes gestationis (pemphigoid gestationis), the symptoms of dermatoses of pregnancy should be classified according to polymorphic exanthema, which are characterized by urticarial lesions, or according to prurigo gravidarum, predominantly characterized by excoriated papules.
