Assessment of the skin is an important element of neonatal examination. Therefore, midwives need to develop knowledge and skills in this area to recognise changes in the skin and understand what these signify.Historically, teaching in this area has been skewed towards changes seen in newborns with light skin tones, resulting in a gap in clinical knowledge and resources on the assessment of skin in newborns with darker skin tones. This second article, on the decolonisation of midwifery education and practice, focuses on clinical assessment of the skin when examining newborns.

There is a paucity of information about the difference in the presentation of eczema in darkly pigmented skin compared to children with fair or white skin. This article describes the possible challenges of diagnosing eczema in children with darkly pigmented skin. The physiological difference in darkly pigmented skin compared with fair or white skin is explored, and how eczema may be manifested and identified in darkly pigmented skin. The author uses the term darkly pigmented skin to describe children of black Caribbean, African or Asian descent.
