Facial dermatoses in infancyDiferenciální diagnostika v pediatrii

Facial dermatoses in infancy, in the broader sense, encompass a wide spectrum of heterogeneous cutaneous manifestations that may occur on the face either as part of systemic

diseases (e.g., dermatomyositis, genodermatoses) or as manifestations of skin disorders not limited to the face (e.g., infectious diseases, eczematous conditions). In the narrower sense, facial dermatoses refer to conditions localized exclusively to the face (e.g., milia, neonatal acne, perioral dermatitis). From the wide range of possible conditions, the author selects those facial dermatoses

whose differential diagnosis is particularly challenging in pediatric practice.

Keywords: facial dermatoses, infancy, seborrheic dermatitis, acrodermatitis enteropathica, neonatal lupus erythematosus, perioral dermatitis
