Neonatal Dermatology
The causes of neonatal acne begin in intrauterine life, when the fetus comes into contact with its mother's hormones. In 20% of newborns, these hormones result in excessive sebum production that clogs the pores on their skin. Thus, pimples, such as those acne, usually arise on the nose or cheeks of the baby, which disappear on their own within a few weeks after giving birth. In addition to neonatal there is also infant acne that has the same symptoms, but appears after the age of 3 months up to 12 months. It is much rarer and persists for longer.

Infectious wax is an infection of the skin most often caused by Staphylococcus aureus or more rarely by pyogenic Streptococcus. Most commonly, impetigo occurs on the face, but it can occur in any area of the body. Initially the lesion is in the form of a bubble which spreads and turns into a scab. Scabs can also be absent, and the lesion is erythematous with erosions and bullous. There are cases when skin lesions are extensive.
Mild cases are adequately treated by topical application of mupirocin three times a day for seven days. The removal of scabs and good hygiene of the area are useful. In extensive infestation, systemic anti-staphylococcal treatment including dicloxacillin or erythromycin is given. In cases of infectious hernia from erythromycin-resistant Staphylococcus, very often isolated in children, amoxicillin in combination with clavulanic acid is an effective alternative treatment.
