Pustular eruption of the striae in a primigravida.
We report on a patient with a pustular eruption of the striae in an otherwise normal first pregnancy. The clinical, histologic, and immunologic findings are reviewed and found to be inconsistent with pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy and with the three previously described pustular eruptions of pregnancy (impetigo herpetiformis, pruritic folliculitis of pregnancy, and autoimmune progesterone dermatitis of pregnancy). Therefore, we regard this case as unique.
