- Abstract
Numerous disorders present with vesiculopustular eruptions in the neonatal period, ranging from benign to life-threatening.

In this review, we highlight several rare blistering diseases of the newborn. A diagnostic approach is outlined to provide clinicians with a framework for approaching a neonate with vesicles, pustules, or ulcers., Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors have nothing to disclose., (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
