Erythema neonatorum was found in 59 patients and in only 3 of them it persisted beyond 7 days.
Lanugo hair, sebaceous hyperplasia, erythema neonatorum, cutis marmorata and iatrogenic bruises were frequently seen in preterm neonates, whereas miniature puberty, physiological desquamation, milia, neonatal acne, Mongolian spot, miliaria and intertrigo were more frequently seen in term neonates.
Physiological desquamation, iatrogenic bruises and ecchymosis were more common in male neonates, whereas sebaceous hyperplasia, erythema neonatorum and cutis marmorata were more common in female neonates.
In early neonatal period, predominant cutaneous lesions were miniature puberty, erythema neonatorum, cutis marmorata, milia, vernix caseosa, Mongolian spots and intertrigo.
Other findings like physiological desquamation, Mongolian spots, miliaria, cutis marmorata and erythema neonatorum did not show statistically significant difference.
