ABSTRACT
Skin findings in neonates carry a wide differential diagnosis, ranging from self-limiting rashes to something more sinister, as cutaneous changes can be an indicator of a serious underlying infectious process. Even benign rashes can cause great concern for families and providers. Pathologic rashes pose a potential risk to the neonate's health. Therefore, it is important to diagnose skin findings and provide any necessary treatment swiftly and accurately. This article provides a concise review of neonatal dermatology with the goal to aid providers in diagnosing and managing neonatal skin conditions.
