Abstract

Herpes gestationis is a rare disease in pregnancy. A 35-year-old G3P2 presented during her third trimester with erythematous pruritic papular eruptions. Direct immunofluorescence of a skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of herpes gestationis. The patient responded well to predniosolone treatment.
