Erythema toxicum neonatorum, or ETN for short, is a benign, transient, and self-limiting skin disease involving neonates in the first week of life. In no way is it toxic to the neonate.
ERYTHEMA TOXICUM NEONATORUM CAUSES
The exact cause is not well known. Some hypotheses include:
- Immature response of the immune system:
- ETN is assumed to be an over-sensitivity reaction to outside agents (such as air, environment, and bacteria).
- Maternal hormonal effect:
- Hormonal fluctuations could stimulate temporary reactions to the skin in newborns.
- Involvement of immune cells:
- Eosinophils in the contents of pustules in many cases reveal an inflammatory nature.
