GENERAL
• Diagnosis of cutaneous disorders in infants and
children requires careful inspection of skin, hair
and nails
• Skin disorders of infants are different from skin
disorders in adults
1. For example, erythema toxicum neonatorum is
only seen in newborns
2. Skin of a young child tends to form blisters
more easily (e.g. insect bites or mastocytomas)
• Determining morphology of skin lesions, their
color and distribution will help generate a
differential diagnosis
