Erythema toxicum neonatorum.
Erythema toxicum neonatorum is a common finding of unknown etiology affecting healthy newborn children, particularly those born at term. It is seen in the first days of life, but rarely at birth. Infants with it often have sterile papulopustules containing a predominance of eosinophils. It is important to distinguish from other cutaneous eruptions of neonates, some of which are serious.
