very common in newborns, erythematus macules and papules that evolved into pustules, look like flee bites, face, truck and extremities but no palms or soles, self-limited, no tx

39

cutis marmorata

A

reticulated mottling of skin, symmetric on trunk and extremities, vascular response to cold, resolves with warmed skin, no tx needed

40

41
Q

transient neonatal pustular melanosis

A

vesiculopustular rash, more common in black newborns, no erythema, lesions rupture and leave a scaly, pigmented macule (Ddx), entire body can be affected

42
Q

acne neonatorum

A

closed comedones on forehead, nose and cheeks, can be open comedones, papules and pustules too, sebaceous gland stimulation from infant or maternal androgens, resolve spontaneously within4 months, can tx if longer than 4 months or extensive with benzoyl peroxide, severe/unrelenting - hyperandrogenism?

43
Q

milia

A

1-2 mm pearly white or yellow papules due to retention of keratin within dermis, forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, spontaneously resolve, self-limited

44
Q

miliaria

A

sweat retention due to partial closure of eccrine structures, 1-2 mm vesicles without erythema on head,neck, and truck, vesicle ruptures and desquamates, avoid overheating, remove excess clothing, air conditioning, self-limited and benign

45
Q

seborrheic dermatitis

A

cradle cap - scalp, face,ears, neck, erythema and greasy scales, can spread to diaper, self-limited in most children, scales can be removes with a brush after shampooing followed by tar shampoos if needed

46
Q

congenital melanocytic nevi

A

dirupted migration of melanocytes precursors in neural crest, brown to balck - flat or raised, potential for melanoma in a small % of kids, removal if large or changes in color, shape or thickness with regular followup

47
Q

dermal melanosis

A

mongolian spots, flat bluish-gray brown lesions from trapped melanocytes, back or buttocks and lock like bruises, make sure to document, self-limited and fade by 2 years of age

48
Q

hemangiomas

A

strawberry in infants, most involute and disappear by 10 years old (90%), may leave atrophy, telangiectasias, hypopigmentation or scars, can tx if getting near school age, tx if near orifice with prednisone, multiple - look for them in liver and GI tract too

49
Q

nevus flammeus
