The lesions were basically observed to be of
two types. A placque like lesion that
appeared to be very subtle and the more
prominent, large, edematous dark lesion. The
patient had a full hematologic work up and
liver profile. There was no evidence of
liver enzymopathy, coagulopathy or
thrombocytopenia. A clinical diagnosis of
the PUPPP (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and
Placques of Pregnancy) syndrome was made.
She was treated with triamcinolone cream
0.1%. One week later the dark colored
lesions had almost disappeared and itching
was minimal.
