Transient neonatal pustular melanosis

Medical condition

Transient neonatal pustular melanosis (TNPM), also known as pustular melanosis, is a type of neonatal pustular eruption that is a transient rash common in newborns. It is vesiculopustular rash made up of 1–3 mm fluid-filled lesions that rupture, leaving behind a collarette of scale and a brown macule. The lesions are fragile and with no surrounding erythema. This rash occurs only in the newborn stage, usually appearing a few days after birth, but pigmented macules are sometimes already present at birth. The rash usually fades over three to four weeks but may linger for up to three months after birth. It can occur anywhere on the body, including the palms and soles.
