Abstract
Pustular psoriasis of pregnancy is a well-known dermatosis of pregnancy. Erythematous plaques with pustular rings and central erosions affecting the intertriginous regions are one of the most common presentations. It can be severe during pregnancy and may impact both the mother and the foetus if not treated. It typically disappears quickly after birth, but there is a chance of recurrence with increased severity in consecutive pregnancies. Systemic corticosteroids are the treatment of choice in generalised pustular psoriasis of pregnancy (GPPP). Cyclosporine also plays a role in the management. We present a case of GPPP in a 30-year-old woman who was treated with systemic corticosteroids and cyclosporine with an uneventful childbirth and a normal foetus.
