24-day-old newborn with tinea capitis: A case report.
Malaysian family physician : the official journal of the Academy of Family Physicians of Malaysia · 2025
Tinea capitis is a common childhood fungal infection that is extremely rare in newborns, with limited data available. Its clinical presentation may closely resemble that of other dermatological conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, neonatal lupus erythematosus and congenital syphilis. It is essential to make a definite diagnosis, as tinea capitis treatment requires systemic antifungal therapy… Read on PubMed →

<p>Introduction: Skin care for very and extremely preterm infant is an important and previously underappreciated topic. Coconut oil skin care for preterm infants is a promising option, but several important questions remain including the theoretical potential for allergic sensitization.<h4>Methods</h4>This prospective study conducted skin prick testing and allergy questionnaires in a cohort of… Read on PubMed →
Resilience of the Skin Microbiome in Atopic Dermatitis During Short-Term Topical Treatment.
International journal of molecular sciences · 2025
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with microbial dysbiosis and impaired skin barrier function. Topical therapies, such as moisturisers and antimicrobial fragrance compounds, may modulate the skin microbiome and support disease management. The objective was to evaluate how a moisturiser and a fragrance compound (farnesol) influence skin microbiome composition in individuals with AD and healthy… Read on PubMed →
Parental involvement in infection prevention and control in low- and middle-income country neonatal units: a scoping review.
Antimicrobial resistance and infection control · 2025
<h4>Objective</h4>To review the literature on caregiver involvement in infection prevention and control in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) neonatal units (NNUs).<h4>Introduction</h4>There is a high burden and mortality of neonatal infections globally, with most of the burden falling on LMIC. Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) are a particular challenge, with neonatal sepsis being one… Read on PubMed →
Human Milk as Diaper Dermatitis Prevention in the NICU: A Quasi-Experimental Study.
Advances in neonatal care : official journal of the National Association of Neonatal Nurses · 2025
<h4>Background</h4>Infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) face significant skin integrity challenges due to immature epidermis and weakened immune defenses. Despite the prevalence of diaper dermatitis among NICU infants, exacerbated by overhydration and skin barrier disruption, standardized preventive measures remain inconsistent with a lack of focus on natural solutions. Human milk… Read on PubMed →
Novel Early Kangaroo Care and Breastfeeding Approach Through Polyethylene Wrap in Collodion Baby Syndrome: A Case Report.
Breastfeeding medicine : the official journal of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine · 2025
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Collodion baby syndrome (CBS) is a rare neonatal dermatological disorder characterized by a restrictive membrane covering the infant's skin, impairing thermoregulation, increasing infection risk, and causing significant pain. Early parent-infant bonding and breastfeeding are challenging due to the fragile skin barrier, with limited evidence on safe approaches to enable… Read on PubMed →
Topical Treatments for Rare Genetic Dermatological Diseases: A Narrative Review.
Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland) · 2025
Rare diseases are conditions that affect up to 65 people per 100,000 individuals. They are also known as "orphan diseases", because they attract limited interest from researchers and pharmaceutical industries. Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), ichthyosis, Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD), Darier disease (DD), erythrokeratoderma, porokeratosis, inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) and… Read on PubMed →
Metagenomics Investigation on Baby Diaper Area Microbiome and Its Association with Skin pH and Dermatitis in the Diapered Area.
Microorganisms · 2025
Dermatitis in the diapered area (DDA) is the most common skin condition in infants and can cause significant pain and discomfort, leading to disturbed sleep, changes in temperament, and heightened concern and anxiety for caregivers. This study investigates the relationship between skin pH, microbiome composition, and DDA severity in 158 infants from China, the US, and Germany, focusing on the… Read on PubMed →
O01 Infantile bullous pemphigoid: when autoimmunity hides an immunodeficiency.
The British journal of dermatology · 2025
Infantile bullous pemphigoid (BP) can be an early manifestation of ZAP-70 deficiency, a rare combined immunodeficiency (CID) characterised by defective T-cell signalling and a propensity to multiple autoimmune manifestations.1 We describe two patients with BP subsequently diagnosed with ZAP-70 deficiency. Case 1: A female neonate presented at 14 days with severe seborrhoeic dermatitis. From 3… Read on PubMed →
Understanding Atopic Dermatitis: Pathophysiology and Management Strategies.
Biomolecules · 2025
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by itching, redness, and dryness, significantly impacting the quality of life of affected individuals. With a rising prevalence across diverse demographics, understanding AD is crucial due to its systemic nature and association with comorbidities such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, as well as its psychosocial… Read on PubMed →
Neonatal skin: barrier, immunity and infection prevention in the NICU.
Seminars in fetal & neonatal medicine · 2025
The neonatal skin is central to early survival and immune development. Far from being a passive mechanical barrier, it integrates physical, chemical, and microbial defences that together protect the infant in the immediate postnatal period. In preterm infants, structural immaturity, reduced antimicrobial capacity, and altered microbial colonisation confer heightened vulnerability to infection and… Read on PubMed →

Common causes of breast and nipple dermatitis during lactation include eczema, psoriasis, mastitis, mammary Paget's disease, Raynaud's phenomenon, and… Read on PubMed →
Skin Barrier Function in Neonates and Infants.
Allergy, asthma & immunology research · 2025
This review focuses on the skin barrier function in neonates and infants, emphasizing the structural and functional differences compared to adult skin. Neonatal and infant skin is thinner, more permeable, and less developed, which makes it more vulnerable to irritants, infections, and dehydration. Additionally, the critical role of skin pH in maintaining barrier function is discussed, noting… Read on PubMed →
