Acne Neonatorum (Neonatal Acne)

What is acne acne neonatorum?

Acne neonatorum, also known as neonatal acne or neonatal cephalic pustulosis, presents as papulopustules usually on the cheeks, but also on the forehead, chin, scalp and trunk. Unlike acne vulgaris, comedones are not present (when comedones are present, the diagnosis is infantile acne). The onset is usually at 2-3 weeks of age. It is thought to be caused by species of Malassezia.

With what can acne neonatorum be confused?

Acne neonatorum can be confused with other transient papulopustules in neonates, including erythema toxicum neonatorum, transient neonatal pustular melanosis, and miliaria rubra.

How is acne neonatorum diagnosed?

Acne neonatorum is usually diagnosed clinically.  A Giemsa-stained smear from one of the pustules will demonstrate yeast forms and inflammatory cells, especially neutrophils.

How is acne neonatorum treated?

Therapy is usually not necessary for acne neonatorum, but a topical imidazole antifungal agent may help.
