Pediatric Pearls. What's this rash?

November 21, 2023

On this Tuesday of Thanksgiving holiday week in the United States, we have a picture to discuss.

You are asked to look at a rash on the lower back of a two-day old term infant. A little bit of the same rash is noted on the left flank. The baby was well. The rash was also noted the day before - immediately after the infant was born.
