چکیده
Erythema toxicum neonatorum (ETN) only occurs in the newborn. It has the appearance of small, erythematous papules and vesicles. Occasionally pustules also occur. The lesions are often surrounded by areas of diffuse blotchy erythema, giving the appearance of a distinct halo. Individual lesions are quite transient and usually disappear quickly, only to be replaced by others in different parts of the body. The condition is benign, causes no symptoms and resolves spontaneously.
