Detailed Description

Pregnancy-induced physiological dermatological changes are common. In 2016, they represented between 23% (acne) and 75% (pigmentary changes) of pregnancies in France. Some dermatological changes require medical advice to identify a possible pathological rash.

These pathological rashes can be dangerous for the mother or the fetus. It is therefore essential to recognize them for a quick specialized treatment. They include: intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, pemphigoid gestationis, polymorphic eruption during pregnancy, atopic eczema, generalized pustular psoriasis in pregnancy.

In view of the demography of dermatologists in the Vendee, 18 dermatologists in 2020 in all establishments (hospitals, clinics, practices), the general practitioner is at the center of these considerations.

The aim of this study is to assess the situation of skin disease during pregnancy and to evaluate the care pathway in a healthcare sector (Vendee) for these pregnant women?
