[Prevalence of birthmarks and transient skin lesions in 1,000 Spanish newborns].
[lamellar ichthyosis]
Almost
all
newborn
children
have
some
sort
of
birthmark
or
transient
benign
skin
lesion
.
Few
studies
,
however
,
have
analyzed
their
frequency
,
particularly
in
Spain
.
The
aims
of
this
study
were
to
determine
their
prevalence
in
1000
newborn
children
in
the
health
care
area
of
Ferrol
in
northwest
Spain
and
to
compare
the
results
with
those
of
9
other
studies
with
similar
characteristics
.
We
undertook
a
descriptive
study
of
1000
newborn
infants
seen
in
the
first
3
days
of
life
at
the
neonatal
clinic
in
the
Department
of
Pediatrics
,
Hospital
Arquitecto
Marcide
,
Ferrol
,
Spain
.
Each
infant
was
examined
for
the
presence
of
19
different
transient
benign
skin
lesions
and
11
birthmarks
.
Birthmarks
or
benign
skin
lesions
were
present
in
994
neonates
(
99
.
4
%
)
.
Transient
skin
lesions
were
present
in
99
.
2
%
and
birthmarks
in
72
%
.
The
5
most
prevalent
lesions
were
sebaceous
hyperplasia
(
75
%
)
,
salmon
patch
(
64
.
2
%
)
,
hypertrichosis
(
59
%
)
,
sucking
calluses
(
54
%
)
,
and
palatine
cysts
(
53
.
7
%
)
.
The
results
of
this
study
show
that
most
neonates
have
benign
skin
lesions
.
The
findings
of
studies
to
assess
their
frequency
are
influenced
not
only
by
geographic
location
(
affecting
variables
such
as
climate
,
social
and
health
care
conditions
,
and
ethnic
group
)
but
also
by
the
timing
of
examination
,
the
inclusion
criteria
applied
,
and
the
terminology
used
.
