AB Four  dermatoses  considered  unique  to  pregnancy  are  pemphigoid  gestationis  (PG),  pruritic  urticarial  papules  and  plaques  of  pregnancy  (PUPPP),  atopic  eruption  of  pregnancy  (AEP),  and  intrahepatic  cholestasis  of  pregnancy.  Descriptions  of  these  are  given  in  Table  65-1.  Their  gross  appearance  can  be  similar  to  each  other  or  to  other  skin  disorders,  and  pruritus  is  a  common  feature.  Of  these  four,  adverse  fetal  outcomes  are  linked  only  with  PG  and  intrahepatic  cholestasis.  The  latter  is  discussed  in  detail  in  Chapter  58  (p.  1032).  It  generally  lacks  primary  skin  lesions,  but  pruritus  is  usually  associated  with  abnormally  elevated  serum  bile  acid  levels  and  mildly  increased  hepatic  transaminase  levels.
