Erythema toxicum neonatorum (often searched as infectiosum neonatorum or toxic erythema of the newborn) is a very common, harmless, and temporary skin rash that affects up to half of healthy full-term infants. [1, 2]
Despite the outdated part of older naming conventions, it is not an infection, is not toxic, and does not require any medical treatment. [1, 2]
