NINA R. O'CONNOR, MD; MAURA R. MCLAUGHLIN, MD; AND PETER HAM, MD
Rashes are extremely common in newborns and can be a significant source of parental concern. Most rashes are benign and self-limited, but others require further work-up for infectious etiologies or underlying systemic disorders.

Newborn Skin: Part II. Birthmarks

Nearly all birthmarks are of concern to parents, but there is limited evidence to guide management. Most benign birthmarks do not require treatment, but effective cosmetic laser treatments exist. Some birthmarks may require further work-up for underlying defects or potential for malignancy.
