Transient neonatal pustular melanosis (TNPM) is a benign condition characterized by the development of maculae, vesicles and pustules that are present at birth. It resolves within the early weeks and months of life. This pathology has a global minor prevalence of 1 % and requires no treatment. However, it is important that a correct differential diagnosis is performed in order to reassure the parents and avoid unnecessary therapeutic approaches that may be iatrogenic. This study presents the case of a newborn child of 48 hours of age, with widespread pustular injuries that resolved by the sixth day of age, with hyperpigmented maculas as sequelae.

Palabras clave : Neonatal exanthema; pustulosis; newborns.
