Hospital in response to the question of the reader about itching in
pregnancy, Dr. Han wrote "The cause was unknown until recently when Dr
Selim Aracting and colleagues from France reported studies linking PUPPP
with cells from the developing baby (foetus). Their studies suggest
that foetal cells can invade the mother's skin during pregnancy, and in
some way cause this skin disorder to develop."
