  • Summary

    The unique hormonal environment of pregnancy causes several changes to skin, hair, and nails. These changes may alter the appearance or behavior of chronic skin conditions, necessitating management changes. Additionally, the anesthesiologist may encounter several pregnancy-specific dermatologic conditions, some of which have broad implications for anesthetic management. Dermatologic drug safety in pregnancy is also a significant concern, as many of the medications commonly used outside of pregnancy are considered teratogenic. A thorough understanding of common dermatologic disease states and their implications on anesthetic management is crucial for the practitioner of obstetric anesthesia.
