P83.1: Neonatal erythema toxicum
In the period immediately after the birth, a redness with small nodules and pustules appeared on the child’s skin.
Babies’ skin can develop a redness during the first days after their birth. Small lumps and pustules can also appear. Pustules are small, pus-filled cavities in the skin. Changes like these, after the birth, occur as the skin becomes accustomed to its environment.
