Table XII shows that out of 1000 neonates, miliaria crystallina (35.3%) was the most common and
sclerema neonatorum (0.1%) was the least common non-infectious skin disorders.
Sclerema neonatorum (SN) is a rare and severe skin condition presenting with generalized hardening of subcutaneous tissues [1].
Its clinical manifestation is very similar to the
sclerema neonatorum whereas basic treatment method is about the same.
Sclerema neonatorum is a very rare panniculitis affecting primarily ill preterm neonates in the first week of life.
Miscellaneous Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon Purpura fulminans Kawasaki disease
Sclerema neonatorum Erythromelalgia Other
Sclerema neonatorum is another rare condition characterized by diffuse hardening of the skin affecting infants up to 4 months of age with severe underlying disease and systemic symptoms.
Clinically it mimicked closely with birth trauma, giant congenital melanocytic nevus, congenital developmental anomaly, incontinentia pigmenti and
sclerema neonatorum.
