ABSTRACT
Introduction.
Skin is essential in mechanic and immunologic protection, along with thermoregulation and barrier function to prevent insensible fluid loss.
Neonate's immature skin contributes to an increase in perinatal morbi-mortality since it causes fragility, favors infection and increases the risk
of toxicity due to percutaneous absorption.
Material and Methods.
This is a descriptive study including 200 living neonates, born from teenage mothers, at HCGFAA. We recorded the frequency of cutaneous
lesions observed in newborns during their first 72 hours of life, along with maternal, neonatal and delivery factors. Variables included in the
study were processed with SPSS version 15.0, with a descriptive study.
Results.
Neonatal parameters: male sex 58.2%, term infants 91.2%, normal weight at delivery 86.9%, first minute APGAR >9 81.6%. Maternal
characteristics: age from 10-19 years, toxic consumption 21.8%, dietetic supplements 81.8%, medical treatment during pregnancy 25.6%. Skin
Lesions: 99.4% showed some cutaneous alteration, 99.2% were benign transitory injuries, birth marks 72%, traumatic cutaneous wounds
18.6% and development abnormalities 6.2%.
Discussion.
Neonatal skin diseases are very frequent; the most common ones are benign transitory lesions. Sebaceous hyperplasia, hypertrichosis and
labial suction callous are the most prevalent. Tobacco is related to a greater frequency of salmon stain and neonatal toxic erythema,
pharmaceutic drug ingestion to vernix casseus and dietetic supplements to a larger number of palatine cyst and vernix casseus.
