Pemphigoid gestationes is a rare pregnancy related autoimmune subepidermal bullous disease. It frequently occurs at second and third trimester of pregnan-cy. Also it rarely appears at first trimester of pregnancy or postpartum period. Twenty-five years old woman was admitted our outpatient clinic at 12 th day of delivery with distance bullous lesions over erythematous area at abdominal skin, medial site of thighs and flexor site of forearms bilaterally. She and her baby were healthy in other respect. She was diagnosed as pemphigoid gestationes after hematoxylin and eosin and direct immunofluorescence examination of biopsy and topical clobetasol propionate ointment was initiated topically twice daily. The le-sions were regressed almost completely. We present this case because of its’ infrequent situation of pregnancy related autoimmune bullous disease and good respond to topical steroid treatment.
