Less well-defined dermatoses of pregnancy.
Over the past several decades, many specific and nonspecific dermatoses of pregnancy have been described. The lack of a well-defined clinical and histological features as well as reproducibility in some of these entities has led to confusing reports in the literature. In this review article, an account of these nonspecific dermatoses of pregnancy will be presented in an attempt to shed light on their nosology and to better categorize them in view of the recent literature findings.
