Medical Conditions - Pruritic Urticarial Papules And Plaques Of Pregnancy

Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy are itchy rashes that are seen on the abdomen of pregnant women (on their stretch marks). The cause of these rashes is still unknown. However, some researchers believe that as the skin stretches during pregnancy, it can trigger rashes with itching. Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy are more common in the last trimester of pregnancy.
