Introduction:
General pustular pruritus psoriasis (GPPP), also known by the name impetigo herpetiformis, is a rare type of pustular dermatosis which typically occurs in pregnant women during the 3rd trimester and usually regresses after birth. The disease is characterized by acute abruption of erythematous plaque with a disseminated spread of sterile pustule, and may progress to sepsis and even death. Notably, it also carries obstetric complications and is associated with an increase in neonatal morbidity and stillbirth. We present a case report of a patient, and discuss the importance of proper management in this rare condition.
