Flat, deep, irregular pink localized areas on the back of the neck, upper eyelids, upper lip, and lower occiput of light-skinned children are known as telangiectatic nevi (stork bites). They are caused by capillary dilatation. Eczema or atopic dermatitis is a common abnormal skin disorder involving inflammation of the epidermis and superficial dermis. Erythema toxicum is a transient newborn rash that is characterized by a red macular base with a white vesicular center. This is a benign rash with an unknown cause. Milia are small white papules on the nose, face, forehead, and upper torso caused by the plugging of the sebaceous glands.
