Description

This PedsCases episode will provide you with an approach to common benign neonatal dermatoses. By the end of this podcast, listeners will be able to 1) define and describe the clinical presentation of some benign neonatal dermatoses, specifically erythema toxicum neonatorum, neonatal milia, and harlequin color change, 2) explain the underlying etiology and pathophysiology of these benign neonatal skin findings, 3) review key differential diagnoses and appropriate management strategies, and 4) counsel caregivers effectively and confidently about these normal neonatal conditions. This episode was created by YuQi Wu, a medical student at the University of British Columbia, in collaboration with Dr. Allison Gregory, a dermatologist practicing at BC Children's hospital.
