Abstract
A full-term afebrile male infant was born with multiple sterile pustules, which easily ruptured to reveal an underlying erythematous skin. He was diagnosed with 'transient neonatal pustulosis', a benign self-limiting condition which disappears within a few days. However, hyperpigmented skin lesions (melanosis) may remain visible for several months.
