Presentation
The lesions often present as, or evolve into, a pigmented macule and persist from three weeks to three months. [uthscsa.influuent.utsystem.edu]
We report an exceedingly unusual presentation of transient neonatal pustular melanosis, suggesting the importance of a systematic diagnostic approach to allow a confident recognition of this benign condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Nevertheless, peculiar clinical presentations may require additional work-up to rule out life-threatening conditions, and dermatological consultation and histological examination are required for the final diagnosis. [unboundmedicine.com]
Transient Neonatal Pustular Melanosis TNPM is a condition marked by pustules and vesicles that are present at birth, and which heal with a collarette of scale and, eventually, a hyperpigmented macule. [dermchallenge.blogspot.com]

- Diarrhea
Moreover, the frequency of diaper soiling, diarrhea, prolonged wetness due to a low frequency of diaper changes and lack of barrier cream, may increase the risk of skin disease. [clinicaldermatology.eu]
Some newborns will have particularly sensitive skin, and may develop a "rash" of this type even in the absence of diarrhea or other known offending agents. [med.stanford.edu]
Generalized seborrheic dermatitis accompanied by failure to thrive and diarrhea should prompt an evaluation for immunodeficiency. 13 Infantile seborrheic dermatitis is usually self-limited, resolving within several weeks to several months. [aafp.org]

Differential diagnosis in this patient included the following conditions: erythema toxicum neonatorum, staphylococcal pyoderma, and herpes simplex. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The most common are toxic erythema of the newborn (also known as ‘ erythema toxicum neonatorum’) and miliaria. [dermnetnz.org]
In this second form as the name indicates there is erythema associated with the vesicular lesions. 1 In contrast to its alarming name, erythema toxicum neonatorum is a benign process seen in half of all newborns, most commonly on the trunk. [mdmag.com]
- Skin Lesion
Histopathology of skin biopsies of the vesicopustules is characterized by polymorphonuclear infiltration. The lesions often present as, or evolve into, a pigmented macule and persist from three weeks to three months. [uthscsa.influuent.utsystem.edu]
Picture of Transient Neonatal Pustular Melanosis Transient neonatal pustular melanosis (TNPM) is a harmless skin lesion that heals into a brown blemish. The condition is most common in African-American infants. [emedicinehealth.com]
Neonatal skin lesions are common. [emedicine.medscape.com]
TNPM produces only cutaneous lesions and requires no treatment. So it is essential to differentiate TNPM and other neonatal skin lesions. [kjp.or.kr]
These skin changes are rather fragile and easily burst. It is possible to overlook such lesions during cleansing of the vernix from the child's skin. The explanation is simple. Such skin changes are superficial and therefore easy to be wiped off. [ic.steadyhealth.com]
- Blister
They begin as 2-3 mm vesiculopustules (blisters) that are not surrounded by any erythema (redness). These blisters easily rupture, leaving pigmented macules (spots) with a tell-tale collarette of scale. Blisters usually resolve within 48 hours. [aocd.org]
Introduction A large number of conditions can cause vesicles (small blisters), pustules (yellow blisters), bullae (big blisters), erosions (sores) and ulcerations during the newborn period. [dermnetnz.org]
Blistering (Vesiculobullous) Lesions Blistering lesions can be mechanically induced or caused by infections. Sucking blisters: Usually seen as oval bullae on the hand or forearm thought to be caused by sucking in utero. They resolve rapidly. [plasticsurgerykey.com]
This small blister quickly ruptures and leaves a typical collarette of superficial scale processes, such as neonatal herpes simplex. [medicinenet.com]

Seborrheic dermatitis is extremely common and should be distinguished from atopic dermatitis. [aafp.org]
Diaper dermatitis will usually blanch when you press on it; it's a sign that the skin is inflamed, and the little tiny blood vessels in it have dilated to bring more blood to the area. [healthtap.com]
Diaper dermatitis is a non-specific diagnosis. The three most common types of diaper dermatitis are chafing dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, and candidiasis (candida diaper rash). [hawaii.edu]
Transient neonatal pustular melanosis (TNPM), an idiopathic dermatitis largely observed in full-term neonates with skin of color, has distinctive features characterized by small vesicles and pustules that rupture easily, leaving collarettes of scaling [scinapse.io]
- Papule
Slightly deeper occlusion results in red papules and pustules (miliaria rubra or ‘prickly heat’). Miliaria most often affects the forehead, neck and upper trunk and occluded areas of babies in the first few weeks of life. [dermnetnz.org]
Sometimes the papules are grouped into plaques without surrounding erythema ( 3 ). [clinicaldermatology.eu]
The skin lesions typically consist of 1 to 3 mm vesicles and erythematous papules that may develop into pustules, crusts, and erosions 6. • It is common in premature, low birth weight, and microcephalic • most lesions in older children are self-limited [slideshare.net]
Milia Milia are 1-2mm whitish yellow papules that are found on the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. These typically resolve in the first few weeks of life. [pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]
Neonatal acne: Papules and pustules develop at 2 to 4 weeks of age. It is self-limited and usually does not scar. Topical erythromycin or benzoyl peroxide may be helpful. [plasticsurgerykey.com]

Clinical recognition of this disease can help physicians avoid unnecessary diagnostic testing and treatment for infectious etiologies because no specific therapy is recommended. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis Neonatal pustular melanosis is a completely benign condition that is not known to cause any long-term sequelae. [2] The prognosis is excellent. Postinflammatory pigmented macules resolve in 2-4 months. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Part I of this article reviews the presentation, prognosis, and treatment of the most common rashes that present during the first four weeks of life. [aafp.org]
Keywords: neonatal, transient, skin disease Introduction The majority of the dermatologic findings in neonates are physiological and transient so no treatment is required; parents can therefore be reassured about the good prognosis. [clinicaldermatology.eu]
Etiology
It is a benign and self-limited disease, and the etiology is still unknown. We present a full-term female neonate with multiple vesiculopustular and pigmented macular lesions found immediately after her birth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
