“…The greater the degree of natural pigmentation, the higher is the occurrence of Mongolian spots in a newborn. 11 Our finding was consistent with the studies of Gorur, Dash, Baruah, Aggarwal, Kunju and Sandeep et al 9,10,[12][13][14][15][16] However, Gokdemir and Hogade et al observed a lower incidence of Mongolian spots in their studies which can be due due to various demographical factors or small sample size. 10,17 Epstein pearls were observed in 48.8% of neonates in our study which is similar to the findings of Sachdeva et al, Gokdemir et al, Aggarwal et al and Kunju et al while Jain et al and Sandeep et al found a lower incidence of Epstein pearls in their studies.…”

“…The profile and frequency of lesions has been detailed in Table 1. 4,[7][8][9][10] Most common dermatoses observed in index study were transient skin lesions among which Mongolian spots (62.9%), Epstein pearls (48.8%), erythema toxicum (41.8%), milia (40.6%) and miniature puberty (35.9%) were the most common ones in order.…”

“…In our study, milia were observed in 40.6% of neonates which is similar to the observation of Aggarwal et al 14 Other studies observed an incidence between 6.4% to 27%. 4,6,9,10,[15][16][17] Miniature puberty was diagnosed if there was hyperpigmenation of genitalia or axilla, hypertrophy of mammary glands, or large well developed genitalia in males and succulent genitalia or vaginal discharge in females. 6 Evidence of miniature puberty was found in 35.9% of neonates in our study which is similar to the observations of Gokdemir et al (43.5%) and Zagne et al (42.86%) while Jain et al observed miniature puberty as the most common neonatal dermatoses with an incidence of 71%.…”

Background: To assess the incidence and profile of neonatal dermatoses in a tertiary care hospital of Haryana and study its association with various perinatal risk factors.Methods: All inborn neonates (<28 days of life) including those seen in the outpatient department on follow up between November 2016 to April 2017 formed the baseline population and babies with skin lesions were included in the study. A detailed perinatal history and newborn examination of the baby was done by a pediatrician and all relevant details were recorded. Data was analyzed, and inferences were drawn using tables.Results: In our study, a total of 2760 newborn (1506 (54.6%) males and 1254 (45.4%) females) were studied. The incidence of neonatal dermatoses was found to be 94.1%. There were 1849 (66.9%) term, 853 (30.9%) preterm, and 58 (2.1%) post term neonates. 1901 (68.8%) had birth weight >2.5kg while 859 (31.1%) had birth weight ≤2.5kg. 1223 (44.3%) were born to primipara while 1537 (55.6%) were born to multipara mothers. Mothers of 54 (1.9%) neonates were < 20 years of age; 1157 (41.9%) in the age group of 20-25 years; 1324 (47.9%) in the age group of 25-30 years and 225 (8.1%) in the age group >30 years. 1806 (65.4%) neonates were born by normal vaginal delivery and 954 (34.6%) neonates were born by cesarean section. In 13 (0.5%) neonates, history of consanguinity was present while it was absent in 2747 (99.5%) neonates. Most common skin lesions observed were transient skin lesions among which Mongolian spots (62.9%), epstein pearls (48.8%), erythema toxicum (41.8%), milia (40.6%) and miniature puberty (35.9%) were the most common.Conclusions: Incidence of neonatal dermatoses was found to be higher (54.6%) among males as compared to females (45.4%); among term babies; those with birth weight >2.5kg; those born to multipara mothers; those born via normal vaginal delivery and those with maternal age 25-30 years.

Dermatoses in neonatal period is very common and important cause of parental anxiety seeking dermatologist or paediatric consultation.To study the clinical profile of neonatal dermatoses in a tertiary care centerm A cross-sectional study on cutaneous lesions in 200 newborns was conducted from October 2016 to September 2018 in the department of dermatology at KIMS Hospital, Narketpally. Male: Female ratio of skin lesions was 1.22:1. Physiological skin lesions were seen in 186 babies followed by pathological skin lesions in 44 babies. Mongolian spot (93%), physiological scaling (83%), were commonest physiological skin lesions seen in the study. Pathological lesions were seen among 73(36.5%) babies.
