ABSTRACT
A total of 748 newborns delivered at the Fatima Hospital, Taegu, Korea, over period of 8 months were examined for the presence of skin lesions within 48 hours of birth. The frequencies of the type of birthmarks were: salmon patch, 61.8%; portwine stain, 0.7%; mongolian spot, 99.1%; cafe-au-lait spot, 0.5%; congenital nevomelanocytic nevus, 0.5%; milia, 44.5%; sebaceous hyperplasia, 76.9%; nevus sebaceus, 0.9%; erythema toxicum neonatorum, 29.3%; genital hyperpigmentation, 49.7%. Erythema toxicum neonatorum was less common in premature infants and more frequent on the second day of life than first one. Genital hyperpigmentation was observed predominantly in the male neonate. There was positive relationship between genital hyperpigmentation and birthweight.
