Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy is also known as:

Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy is indeed referred to as pruritic urticarial papules and plaques. This condition typically occurs in the third trimester and is characterized by itchy, raised lesions on the abdomen, which can sometimes spread to other areas of the body. It is considered a benign condition that usually resolves after delivery.

The term encapsulates both the pruritic (itchy) component and the appearance of urticarial papules and plaques that are typically observed in affected individuals. This condition is thought to be related to the stretching of the skin as the pregnancy advances, and it is distinguished by the specific presentation of the rash, which is not associated with systemic symptoms.

Understanding the terminology associated with pregnancy-related dermatoses is crucial for differentiating between various skin conditions, as it helps guide management and reassure patients about their symptoms.
