Prurigo of pregnancy

Prurigo is a group of small wind-like maculopapular rash and chronic herpes-like skin lesions with severe itching. It is usually divided into three types: acute prurigo, chronic prurigo, and symptomatic prurigo. The rash resolved on its own within 1 month after delivery and the itching disappeared. It can also last for several months or may recur during the next pregnancy. Some people think that prurigo pregnancy is a mild papular dermatitis of pregnancy.
