Prevalence of cutaneous findings in Spanish neonates and relationships to obstetric and parental factors

Abstract

Two hundred forty-seven healthy newborns were investigated in a prospective cohort descriptive study. Information on phenotype and obstetric and parental history was collected. A positive association was found between erythema toxicum neonatorum and season of birth (spring and summer), whereas parental history of any skin disease was related to a lower frequency of this eruption.
