This article reviews the physiological skin changes and unique dermatoses in pregnancy, discussing their causes and management, but reports no new clinical findings.

Herpes gestationis is linked to certain antigens, atopic eczema affects T cell populations and may be eased by breastfeeding, higher doses of anti-androgen treatment can improve androgenic alopecia, topical minoxidil increases hair thickness, long-term methotrexate therapy can cause liver fibrosis in psoriasis patients, and Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus patients aren't at higher risk for autoimmune disorders.

This review covers various skin-related adverse drug reactions and lists common drugs associated with these reactions but presents no new clinical findings.
