Toxic erythema of the newborn (also known as erythema toxicum and erythema toxicum neonatorum) is a common and benign condition seen in newborn infants. It affects as many as half of all full-term newborn infants but is less common in infants born prematurely. There is no known sex or racial predilection, although it has been suggested that it may be under-recognised in infants with darker skin types.
