Abstract
Itching sensation can occur in up to 20% of pregnant women. The paper considers the most common causes of the development of this unpleasant symptom in women expecting a baby, such as polymorphic and atopic dermatitis, intrahepatic cholestasis, pemphigoid. Modern epidemiological data are presented, the clinical features of each nosology are described, and recommendations for effective treatment of these conditions are given.
