The neonatal period is regarded as the first 4 weeks of extrauterine life. In the literature, there are numerous articles about the skin findings in neonates and the results of these studies show differences according to races and environmental factors.
Our objective was to evaluate the skin lesions seen in neonates delivered in our hospital and to determine their relationship to gender, gestational age and route of delivery.
Newborns delivered at the Obstetrics Clinics of our hospital between November 2007 and April 2008 were included in this study. Dermatologic examination was performed and relationship between the 10 most common skin findings and gender, gestational age and route of delivery were statistically evaluated.
A total of 572 newborns were examined for the presence of skin lesions. Most common skin findings were Epstein pearls (58.76%), sebaceous hyperlasia (48.45%) and xerosis (31.29%). Milia and sebaceous hyperplasia in girls, desquamation and xerosis in preterms, Epstein pearls, sebaceous hyperplasia and desquamation in vaginally delivered babies were found to be more frequent and the differences were statistically significant.
We found that 90.7% of the neonates had one or more cutaneous lesions. Maturity and type of delivery of the babies were important factors in their causation. In Turkey, this study is the first study performed on the skin lesions seen during the neonatal period. With this study, we want to increase the awareness about the skin findings in neonates.
新生儿期被认为是子宫外生命的前 4 周。在文献中，有许多关于新生儿皮肤表现的文章，这些研究的结果因种族和环境因素的不同而有所差异。
我们的目的是评估在我院分娩的新生儿的皮肤病变，并确定其与性别、胎龄和分娩方式的关系。
本研究纳入了 2007 年 11 月至 2008 年 4 月在我院妇产科分娩的新生儿。对其进行皮肤科检查，并对 10 种最常见皮肤表现与性别、胎龄和分娩方式的关系进行统计学评估。
共检查了 572 例新生儿的皮肤病变。最常见的皮肤表现为上皮珠（58.76%）、皮脂增生（48.45%）和干燥（31.29%）。女孩中发现有粟粒疹和皮脂增生、早产儿中发现有脱皮和干燥、阴道分娩的婴儿中发现有上皮珠、皮脂增生和脱皮更为常见，差异有统计学意义。
我们发现 90.7%的新生儿有一个或多个皮肤病变。婴儿的成熟度和分娩方式是其发病的重要因素。在土耳其，这是首次对新生儿期皮肤病变进行的研究。通过这项研究，我们希望提高人们对新生儿皮肤表现的认识。
