| Diagnosis: | EXTROPHY OF BLADDER / ERYTHEMA TOXICUM NEONATORUM | Category: | vesiculobullous eruptions / neonatal dermatology / congenital malformation | ||
| Body Site: | thigh / abdomen scrotum / genital leg / umbilicus (navel) | Age: | 4 days | ||
| Contributor: | Bernard Cohen, MD | ||||
| Description: | diffuse white papules and pustules on a red base with confluent erythema in some areas particularly skin creases | ||||
| Comments: | A full term boy with bladder extrophy develolped a diffuse red urticarial papular eruption on the trunk that spread to the proximal extremities on day 2 of life. On day 3 of life 1-2 mm white papules and pustules formed at the center of the red papules that were most dense in skin creases and the diaper area. Smears of the contents of the pustules showed cellular debris, eosinophils and neutrophils, but no organisms. Cultures for fungus and bacteria from the pustules were also negative. Two days later the erythema was receding and pustules were dry and desquamating. Pediatric urology repaired the bladder extrophy without complication. | ||||

| Body Site: | cheek / face | Age: | 2 days | ||
| Contributor: | Patrice Plantin, MD | ||||
| Description: | Erythema toxicum neonatorum is a benign self limited eruption that may be present at birth, more typically it occurs 24 to 48 hours after birth. 30 to 70% of newborn are affected. Lesions are firm, yellow or white pustules on a red and swollen base. Lesions may be found in face, trunk and limbs. Palms and soles are not involved. Erythema toxicum lasts about five to seven days as crops. Blood eosinophilia is seen in 20% of cases. Erythema toxicum does not usually recur. The etiology of erythema toxicum remains mysterious. | ||||
| Comments: | Erythema toxicum neonatorum is a benign self limted eruption that may be present at birth, but usually occurs 24 to 48 hours after birth. 30 to 70 percent of newborn are affected. Lesions are firm, yellow or white papules and pustules on a red urticarial edematous base. Lesions may be found on the face, trunk and limbs. Palms and soles are not usually involved. Lesions, which rapidly change from hour to hour, recur in crops for 2 to 7 days. Infants appear well without symptoms. Blood eosinophilia is seen in 20 percent of cases, and the cause is unknown. Erythema toxicum must be distinguished from more serious vesiculopustular eruptions of the newborn including staphylococcal pustulosis, herpes simplex, varicella, candidiasis, and listeriosis. | ||||
