Abstract

Generalized pustular psoriasis of pregnancy (GPPP) is a rare dermatosis that usually occurs during the third trimester of pregnancy. The diagnosis is primarily clinical, confirmed by laboratory investigations and histopathological typical findings. Here we report, a 26-year-old, gravida one woman, in 37 weeks of pregnancy, presenting with extensive erythematous, pruritic plaques with peripheral scaling and pustules. Patient was induced at 37+4 weeks and delivered a healthy 2900g male infant. GPPP was eventually controlled with oral cyclosporine. © 2020 The National Society for Cutaneous Medicine.
