Abstract

Peripartum and postpartum dermatologic lesions may or may not be an indicator of morbidity or mortality for either the fetus or mother. Postpartum dermatologic lesions occurred in a 41-year-old multipara, 1 week after a repeat cesarean delivery for severe intrauterine growth restriction and nonreassuring fetal testing. The diagnosis, using histopathologic techniques, and the pharmacologic management are discussed. This case raises intriguing questions regarding prompt diagnosis, treatment, and the counseling of patients with dermatologic lesions with respect to current and future pregnancy outcomes.
