Skin allergies and rashes are common during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and increased skin sensitivity. Conditions such as PUPPP and eczema flare-ups may cause itching and discomfort but are usually harmless and resolve after delivery. However, severe itching, blistering rashes, or symptoms like dark urine and jaundice may indicate serious conditions such as intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and require immediate medical attention. Early diagnosis and proper care ensure the safety of both mother and baby. Dr Nirmala M, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Motherhood Hospital Whitefield, advises pregnant women to seek medical guidance if skin symptoms worsen or persist.
