Definition
This section has been translated automatically.

Polyaetiological inflammatory skin diseases characterized by follicular or non follicular pustules (and vesicles). While the pustules represent the clinically characteristic leading efflorescences, a variety of clinical pictures and different causes are concealed behind the individual clinical pictures. As a large part of the pustular phenomena in newborns occur within the self-limiting erythema neonatorum, it is necessary to differentiate between these and other pustuloses requiring treatment.
