    Study Notes

    Milia

    • Whitish, tiny sebaceous retention cysts found on the chin, nose, forehead, and cheeks.
    • No erythema is associated with milia.
    • Typically benign and resolve within a few weeks after birth.
    • Occur in approximately 33% of infants.

    Erythema Toxicum

    • Characterized by numerous small red areas with a yellowish-white papule in the center.
    • Appears around 48 hours after birth and lasts for 7-10 days.
    • Common in full-term infants and may be confused with other skin conditions.
    • Potentially related to staphylococcal infection.

    Acne Neonatorum

    • Presents as comedones and papules primarily on the cheeks, chin, and forehead.
    • Considered benign and usually requires no treatment.
    • Severe cases may need mild keratolytic agents for management.

    Neonatal Pustular Melanosis

    • A benign condition with three stages of lesions: pustules, ruptured vesicopustules with scaling, and hyper-pigmented macules.
    • Can appear over the entire body and is self-limiting.
    • Does not necessitate any specific therapeutic intervention.

    Herpes Simplex

    • Appears as a pustular vesicular rash with vesicles and bullae.
    • Can lead to denuded skin and may require medical evaluation.

    Candida Albicans Rash (Napkin Dermatitis)

    • Commonly presents in the napkin area as erythematous plaques with sharply defined edges.
    • Satellite lesions are often observed around the rash.
    • Diagnosis can be confirmed using Gram stains or 10% potassium hydroxide preparation, revealing budding yeast spores.
    • Treatment involves application of nystatin cream four times daily for 7-10 days.
