“…7 In our study, congenital melanocytic nevus, black to brown flat was found in 5%. This correlates well with the incidence of a study done by Dash et al and Gokdemir et al 4,6 Melanocytic nevus involving the trunk and back were seen. The prevalence of congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) among newborns ranges between 0.2 and 6% in the worldwide literature.…”

“…5 Most common dermatoses were noted was Mongolian spots about 20% of neonates. A similar incidence is seen in a study done by Gokdemir et al 6 However the incidence of Mongolian spots in our study is quite low in comparison with other study observed in 60.2% by 89% by Dash et al & Sachdeva et al . 4,7 The colour varies from light blue to bluish green.…”

Background: Various cutaneous manifestations are common in the neonatal period. Transient and pathological neonatal dermatoses should be differentiated to avoid unnecessary treatment and to relieve parent’s stress. The present study is being carried out to study the clinical pattern of cutaneous lesion during the neonatal period, to determine the frequency of various dermatoses i.e. physiological and pathological lesions in neonate along with appropriate management of cases.Methods: A total of 100 neonates from labour rooms and pediatric nursery of Basaveshwara general hospital, Kalaburagi were evaluated for cutaneous manifestations. All the relevant data regarding history, clinical examination and investigations were recorded and analyzed.Results: Of the 100 neonates, 56 (56%) were males and 44 (44%) were females, 72 (72%) were full term, 23 (23%) were pre-term and 5% were post term. Of these 78% newborns were born to multigravidae mothers, while 24% newborns born of consanguineous marriage had cutaneous lesions. The majority of newborns 54% were born through normal delivery. The largest number of babies with cutaneous lesions (72%) was seen in newborns of mothers in the age group of 20-29 years. The most common dermatoses were physiological scaling (18%) and Mongolian spots (20%) followed by milia (13%), miliaria (14%).Conclusions: The present study helps to understand the type and distribution of cutaneous lesions presenting in the early neonatal period in newborns. Majority of skin lesions were transient and did not need any medical treatment. Counselling the parents helped alleviate their significant psychological stress as well as play a role in creating awareness in the community and benefit the people at large.

“…KANE A. and FERHABAS A. noted in Senegal and Turkey that desquamation + xerosis was the most frequent dermatosis [6] [10] as we observed (33.75%) at rates of 41%, 43% and 39.5% respectively. These results are in the range of 72% to 83% reported in the literature [11] [12]. In our study, miliary sweat was the second (22.29%) NND H. Adegbidi et al most encountered as in Nigerian newborns (24.6%) [8].…”

Neonatal dermatoses (NND) are frequent, varied and of variable prognosis. The objective of this work was to study the epidemiological and clinical aspects of NND at the NTH-HKM. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study from December 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015. All newborns received in the Department of Pediatrics and Medical Genetics and with dermatosis were included. The diagnosis of dermatoses was clinical. Results: During the study period, 355 newborns had at least one NND on a total of 580 newborns received, a prevalence of 61.2%. The sex ratio was 1.54 and the average age was 3.11 days. Transient dermatoses were more frequent (80%), dominated by desquamation + xerosis (33.75%). Congenital melanocytic nevi (40.74%) and malformations and vascular tumors (18.52%) were the most noted pathological neonatal dermatoses. Only age was statistically associated with NND. Conclusion: DNH is common in newborns at the NTH-HKM. They were mostly transitory. Pathological conditions should be treated where appropriate.
