ABSTRACT
Generalized congenital miliaria crystallina occurred in a black newborn boy. Although miliaria crystallina occurring in infancy and beyond is well established, congenital occurrence is very rare. The pathogenesis of the disorder is not well understood. We discuss some hypotheses of pathogenesis in the context of our patient, as well as a differential diagnosis and a comparison with a previously reported case. Miliaria crystallina should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vesiculobullous eruptions in newborns.
