Papular Dermatitis of Pregnancy
a.
Papular Dermatitis of Pregnancy is a rare pruritic eruption of
widespread urticarialike papules and defined as a condition of abnormal
blood clot in pregnancy, as result of low levels of cortisol and
estrogen levels and chorionic gonadotropin elevation levels produced by
produced by the pituitary gland. Approximately, it affects one in

c. Causes and risk factors

causes of Papular Dermatitis of Pregnancy is a result of hormonal
imbalance of elevated levels of chorionic gonadotropin, and lower levels
of estrogen and cortisol.
d. Treatments
In a study of Papular dermatitis of pregnancy by Michaud RM, Jacobson D, Dahl MV., researchers found that high doses of systemically administered corticosteroids controlled the disease,
but papules developed in increased numbers when the dosage was reduced
below 80 mg/day. After parturition, widely scattered papules of
similar morphology developed in the patient; these persisted for 11
months despite the absence of retained placental fragments and normal
findings from UCG determinations. New papules continued to develop
premenstrually, suggesting an influence of normal pituitary gonadotropic
hormones or other aggravating humoral factors on the eruption.
According to another study of Papular dermatitis of pregnancy by
Pruett KA, Kim R. researcher found that These lesions may occur at any
time during the pregnancy and may be associated with increased fetal
wastage. The response to corticosteroids is prompt and gratifying to
the patient and the physician. Therapeutic doses of prednisone have not
been associated with increased fetal loss. The etiology of the
condition is unknown and it may recur with subsequent pregnancies.
