The nomenclature and classification of specific pruritic dermatoses of pregnancy have remained confused and disputed all along. It is not until 2006 that a rationalized classification system was proposed and they were classified into pemphigoid gestationis, polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, atopic eruption of pregnancy and intrahepatie cholestasis of pregnancy.

Key words: Pregnancy complications; Skin manifestations; Skin diseases; Prurigo
