PUPPPs, short for pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy is the most common skin rash found in pregnant women. Normally occurring around 35 weeks gestation, PUPPPs tends to only happen to woman during her first pregnancy, and more commonly when she is expecting a boy. PUPPPS has many other names, most commonly is PEP (polymorphic eruption of pregnancy) found in the United Kingdom, late-onset prurigo of pregnancy, toxemic rash of pregnancy and toxic erythema of pregnancy. PUPPPs occurs in 1 out of 200 first-time pregnancies on average, and has extremely notable signs and symptoms.
