Collodion phenotype remains a challenge for neonatologists: A rare case of self‐healing collodion baby

Abstract

Abstract We report a unique case of self‐healing collodion baby (CB) that was successfully managed despite the risk of potentially serious complications. Self‐healing CB is a rare and distinct outcome of collodion phenotype occurring in approximately 10% of the cases. The outcome depends on the initial assessment and adequate multidisciplinary approach.
