    GlossaryPemphigoid Gestationis

    rare autoimmune blistering disorder occurring during pregnancy

    Pemphigoid Gestationis, also known as Herpes Gestationis, is a rare autoimmune blistering disorder that occurs during pregnancy. It is characterized by an itchy rash that typically starts around the belly button and can spread to other parts of the body. The condition is caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking the skin, leading to blister formation. It usually resolves after childbirth but may require medical treatment to manage symptoms.
