Commonly Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP) is a rash that typically develops in 3rd trimester(after 7 months). Around 1 out of 130 to 300 people develop PUPPP. It may first appear as itchy red patches on the stomach, especially near stretch marks, and may spread to the arms, legs, and buttocks.
Next Steps
Topical corticosteroids are considered the first line of treatment for PUPPP commonly 1% hydrocortisone cream is used
