It found that 40.4% had no complaints, while common conditions included hyperpigmentation (90.8%), linea nigra (94.6%), and striae (80.3%). Specific dermatoses of pregnancy were present in 8.68% of cases, with pruritus gravidarum (38.53%) and PUPPP (28.4%) being notable. The study highlighted a high prevalence of community-acquired infections like taenia (17.27%) and scabies (20.46%), suggesting links to poor hygiene, overcrowding, low socioeconomic status, anemia, and poor nutrition.
