Introduction: At present there are no exact epidemiologic data on the prevalence of neonatal skin disorders and birth marks in Hungary. Aim: The aim of the authors was to investigate the prevalence of skin disorders in mature healthy neonates after birth. Method: The survey was carried out in the Neonatal Care Unit at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Szeged between April, 2012 and May, 2013. Results:A total of 2289 newborn infants underwent whole-body screening skin examinations. At least one skin manifestation was found in 63% of the neonates. The major groups of skin disorders were transient benign cutaneous lesions, vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, traumatic, iatrogenic, congenital or acquired disorders with skin injuries, developmental abnormalities and benign skin tumours. The most frequent transient cutaneous lesions were erythema toxicum neonatorum, sebaceous hyperplasia and desquamation. The most common vascular lesions were naevus simplex, haemangioma and haemangioma precursor lesion, while the most frequently observed pigmented lesions were congenital melanocytic naevi and Mongolian spot. Conclusions: In the vast majority of cases, special treatment was not necessary, but 5.27% of the neonates required local dermatologic therapy, and in 9.2% of neonates follow up was recommended. Orv.

Introduction: Skin manifestations are common in neonates. The prevalence of skin changes and their association with neonatal and maternal factors are not adequately documented in Nepal. It is important to differentiate common benign skin lesions from infrequent skin changes that cause morbidity, requiring medical management. The objectives of this study were to determine the pattern of skin lesions in new-borns and their association with maternal and neonatal variables.Material and Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study conducted in obstetric unit of the hospital from December 2016 to May 2017. Outborn babies and babies shifted to NICU were excluded.Results: A total of 935 new-borns were examined. The commonest skin lesions were Mongolian spot (66.7%), Erythema toxicum (46.6%), Milia (44.4%), Epstein pearls (26.4%) and Salmon patch (11.9%). Mothers aged 35 years or older (63.6%) had statistically significant association with Erythema toxicum (p=0.01). Erythema toxicum was more in primiparity, term pregnancy and caesarean section delivery. Milia was associated with male babies. Salmon patch was seen more in term pregnancy. Congenital melanocytic nevus, haemangioma and port-wine stain were noted in three, two and one new-borns respectively, which alter morbidity and hence are important to diagnose in time.Conclusion: We found that 93.8% of neonates had at one or more skin lesions. The majority of skin lesions were benign and transient. Erythema toxicum was seen commonly in mothers aged 35 and more. Salmon patch was seen more in term pregnancy.

Background: Down Syndrome (DS) has been described in association with various dermatoses,however, there is scanty information in the literature regarding the frequency of cutaneous nevi among Down syndrome patients. The objective of the study: To define the frequency of different cutaneousnevi in DS patients, andto precise their different phenotypes. Patients and methods: we prospectively examined 180 Down syndrome patients. All patients underwent full body skin examination noting the type, number, size, and distribution of different nevi. Results: Different types of nevi were noted among Down syndrome patients; café au lait macules, melanocytic nevocellular nevi, and Mongolian spot were the most frequent ones. Juvenile elastoma, Becker’s nevus, nevus spilus, labial melanocytic macule, and capillary vascular malformation were also seen. Conclusion: Various types of cutaneous nevi not previously described in Down syndrome, was observed in our patients such as Becker’s nevus, nevus spilus and Juvenile elastoma.
