Erythematous plaques that develop into vesicular lesions and may later become pustular are known as herpes lesions. Primary herpes contracted in the first trimester places the fetus at risk for abnormalities. Chloasma or melasma, the mask of pregnancy, manifests as blotchy, irregular pigmentation on the face. Papular dermatitis of pregnancy is described as erythematous, pruritic, widespread, soft papules, typically 3 to 5 mm in size that are surmounted by smaller, firmer papules or small crusts. Prurigo of pregnancy presents as excoriated papules, which are highly pruritic and are usually distributed on the hands and feet; in more severe cases, the lesions may be noted on the upper trunk.
