Abstract 1. Int J Dermatol. 2013 Jan;52(1):14-22. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-4632.2012.05687.x. Neonatal skin care: a concise review. Ness MJ(1), Davis DM, Carey WA. Author information: (1)Departments of Pediatric, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905, USA. Skin care practices play an important role in the health of well newborns and hospitalized neonates. Fortunately, for many aspects of neonatal skin care, there exist evidence- or consensus-based recommendations to guide best practices. Based on our review of the recent medical literature, we include in this manuscript the current recommendations regarding neonatal skin cleansing and antisepsis; umbilical cord care; use of emollients; and prevention of diaper dermatitis. In addition, we review the recommended practices for preventing and treating pressure ulcers, wounds, and other skin injuries in hospitalized neonates. © 2013 The International Society of Dermatology.
