Obstetric Dermatology
Dr. Liew Hui Min
Skin changes during pregnancy or just after pregnancy is not uncommon. The common physiological skin changes are stretchmarks, melasma (pigmentation on the face), hair & nail changes, and increased blood vessel – related skin growths, example pyogenic granuloma and spider naevi.
However there are other skin conditions which are specific to pregnancy, for example, atopic eruption of pregnancy (similar to eczema but these women may not have any history of skin allergies previously), pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (also known as PUPPP), and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, and pemphigoid gestationis.
Fortunately, the last 2 mentioned skin conditions are rare but can be severe and may impact your unborn babies. You may already have an existing skin condition, which can be exacerbated by your pregnancy, for example acne, rosacea, psoriasis, etc.
