We report on a 29-year-old primigravida who developed impetigo herpetiformis 1 day after delivery. To our knowledge, this patient is the second reported case of impetigo herpetiformis presenting during the puerperium. The patient responded quickly to systemic administration of methotrexate and prednisolone.
