Article Abstract
We present a neonate with transient neonatal pustular melanosis, a benign skin rash seen in 0.2-2.2% of white neonates and in 4-5% of black neonates. Vesicopustular lesions are present at birth, the lesions rupture in 24-48 hours leaving hyperpigmented macules. These slowly fade in 3-10 weeks.

Article Synopsis
- - Four newborns, one girl and three boys, were diagnosed with different skin conditions: feeding blisters, bullous impetigo, erythema toxicum neonatorum, and transient neonatal pustular melanosis.
- - The baby with bullous impetigo received antibiotic treatment, while the others had no treatment and recovered well, though the one with transient neonatal pustular melanosis showed some hyperpigmentation.
- - Neonatal skin eruptions are common and mostly harmless, but it's crucial to identify and treat certain conditions quickly through a detailed history and clinical observation, and skin cultures can aid in diagnosis.
