The study included 114 pregnant women who attended the outpatient department (OPD) as well as inpatients and referral cases from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. All data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 and tabulated based on age, gravida, trimester and diseases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Result:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 114 cases encountered, 21 (18.4%) were of specific dermatosis, 23 (20.2%) of infections, 56 (49.1%) of sexually transmitted infections and 14 (12.3%) of non-specific dermatosis. Incidence was higher in primigravida (68.4%) than in multigravida (31.6%). Here, the most frequent specific dermatosis of pregnancy reported was pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPP) (10.5%).
