Erupción Polimorfa del Embarazo: Revisión literaria.

Abstract

Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy is defined as an inflammatory and pruritic dermatosis and is considered the most common skin disease during pregnancy and the immediate postpartum. The etiology is not yet defined. It is most prevalent in primiparous women and in multiple pregnancy. It appears most commonly on the abdomen and spreads to the proximal regions of the inferior extremities as erythematous papules that spare the periumbilical region. The diagnosis is clinical, and its management usually consists of only symptomatic treatment. The prognosis is favorable and often resolves spontaneously.
