ABSTRACT

Workup The diagnosis of PP rests on the clinical features of the eruption. In all cases, DIF has been negative (22,34,42), and therefore is not indicated.

Therapy The mainstay of therapy for PP is mid to high-potency topical steroids (22,30,34,39,41,42). This class of medication does not cause any known fetal complications when used properly. In rare cases of prolonged and widespread use, significant systemic absorption could occur. Oral antihistamines can be used in addition to topical corticosteroids if necessary (30).
