Erythema Toxicum~


  • small papules / pustules
  • NOT in 1st day of life
  • if scraped - fulls with eosinophil
  • DDx: SSSS (stapylococcal scalded skin syndrome)
  • How to differentiate? SSSS - if scraped, full with neutrophil, infant looks very ill, Nikolsky sign (gentle stroking of the skin causes the skin to separate at the epidermis)
