AIM: To investigate the clinical pattern of diverse dermatoses in neonates at a tertiary medical facility. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Our institute conducted this descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study, which included a thorough dermatological examination of each neonate, with each finding documented and analyzed statistically. RESULTS: Of the 200 participants evaluated, 110 (55%) were males and 90 (45%) were females. Of all the babies examined, 115 (57.5%) were term babies, 77 (38.5%) were preterm, and 8 (4 %) were postterm. CONCLUSION: The investigation of neonatal dermatoses is important to all dermatologists in order to distinguish between physiological and pathological conditions, thereby preventing the need for superfluous treatment of neonates in situations where none is necessary and assisting in the reduction of parents' unnecessary anxiety.
