Transient neonatal pustular melanosis: An unusual and challenging eruption

Abstract

Key Clinical Message TNPM is a benign, transient, neonatal pustulosis requiring no active treatment. Diagnosis is clinical, characterized by a vesiculopustular eruption, healing with residual hyperpigmented macules. Before diagnosing TNPM, serious conditions including skin infections should be excluded. This case was unusual in that vesiculobullae predominated, with a notable absence of simple pustules.
