Background/objectives: The need for dermatology consultations for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients is increasing, but no study has systemically examined the skin diseases of patients in NICUs. The aim of this study was to analyze dermatology consultations in the NICU of a tertiary medical center in Korea and determine the effect of the dermatology consultation on the clinical course and management of the patients after the consultation.
Methods: The medical records of patients undergoing dermatologic consultation during their stay in a NICU between March 2009 and February 2016 were reviewed retrospectively.

- Autologous suction blister epidermal grafting is a common treatment for stubborn vitiligo, but fixing the grafts can be challenging, especially on difficult areas of the body.
- In two case studies, the use of fibrin glue for graft fixation improved the success of the treatment, leading to better healing and less risk of infection.
