What is granuloma gluteale infantum?

Granuloma gluteale infantum is a rare form of napkin dermatitis in which there are reddish-purple nodules in the napkin (diaper) area of infants. It was first described in 1891 as 'vegetating bromidism' owing to its occurrence following the use of topical bromide-containing ointments [1,2].
