[A neonate with vesicopustular rash].
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.
