    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Obstetrics
    • Immunodermatology

    Background:

    • Pustular eruptions during pregnancy and the puerperium are uncommon dermatological conditions.
    • Herpes gestationis (HG), now known as pemphigoid gestationis, typically presents with pruritic vesicles and bullae.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a rare case of herpes gestationis (HG) with predominantly pustular lesions.
    • To discuss the differential diagnosis of pustular eruptions in pregnant patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report presentation.
    • Review of clinical presentation and differential diagnoses for pregnancy-associated pustular eruptions.

    Main Results:

    • The reported case of herpes gestationis (HG) exhibited primarily pustular lesions, lacking the characteristic vesicular or bullous component.

  • This presentation broadens the spectrum of HG manifestations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Herpes gestationis (HG) can present with predominantly pustular lesions, necessitating a broader differential diagnosis for pregnancy-related pustular eruptions.
    • Clinicians should consider atypical presentations of HG when evaluating pustular dermatoses in pregnant individuals.
