“…In the prevalence survey conducted in Australia by Rivers [10] their results were as follows, desquamation (65%), followed by Epstein pearls (56%), sebaceous hyperplasia (48%), milia (36%), but their results regarding erythema toxicum was (34%) and salmon patch (32%). Their results resemble to great extent those of the American survey.…”

The aim of this study is to assess the frequency of both physiological and pathological cutaneous lesions in first seven days of life in a tertiary care hospital of western Uttar Pradesh. Overall 500 neonates either inborn or attending paediatric OPD/ clinic and delivered in the hospital were included in the study. The study took 6 months, consent from parents of those neonates were taken. Clinical examination, dermatological examinations were carried out to check their eligibility to enter this study and to diagnose the skin lesions. Consultations to dermatologists were done in the beginning of the study, especially, in the doubtful cutaneous lesions. Skin lesions were present in 476 (95.2%) neonates. Of these 60 neonates (12%) have pathological lesions, 430(86%) had only physiological lesion, while 14 neonates (2.8%) had both physiological and pathological lesions. Of physiological lesions Epstein pearls were most common (78%) second most common lesion was Mongolian spots (65%), desquamation was seen in 52% cases, & milia (42%). Pathological lesions pustulosis was most common seen in 28% cases; second most common lesion was oral thrush (26%).

“…The size of the Mongolian spot square was strongly and directly correlated with the body surface area of the infant (p=0.0001) (Figure 2 Several studies on prevalence of Mongolian spot have been conducted worldwide. The reported prevalence of the Mongolian spot variesas follows: East Africa (95.0%), Native Americans (90.0%), Korean (97.1%), China (86.3), Japan (81.5%), Nigeria (74.8%), Iran (71.3%), India (60.2-62.2%), Spain (60.0%), Taiwan (61.6%), Brazil (60.0%), Hungary (22.6%), Australia (25.5%), Italy (2-5%), Arab (8-10%), Azerbaijan (10%), and Turkey (10-12%) [2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Objectives:The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of Mongolian spots in Mongolian infants. Methods: This hospital-based, descriptive crosssectional study was conducted nationwide among 2641 newborn infants in Ulaanbaatar and in 21 provinces hospitals within 96 hours postpartum in 2015. Results: The prevalence of Mongolian spots in Mongolian infants was 91.3%. The prevalence of spots in females was 92.1% and in male newborns it was 90.6% (p>0.05). The prevalence of Mongolian spots in the Western provinces was lower than in the rest of other provinces (98.3% and 95% CI: 96.4-99.4). For of infants with Khalkha parentage, 92.7% had Mongolian spots, while 64.7% of infants with Kazakh parentage had Mongolian spots. The Mongolian spots are commonly located in infant's lower back (88.3%) and had an average length of 3.7±2.7 cm, width of 2.7±1.9 cm and an average area of 14.2±23.3 cm2. The appearance of Mongolian spots on the infant's legs, face, chest, hands, feet, knee, and cheeks were less frequent. Conclusion: The prevalence of Mongolian spots among Mongolian infants was 91.3% [95%CI: 87.2-95.3] and significant difference was observed between Mongolian and Kazakh infants.

“…The incidence of salmon patch in newborns is reported to be 44% in Caucasian neonates [2], 33.8% in Australian neonates [3], 26.2% in Iranian newborns, 13.8% in Indian newborns [4], 19.2% in Turkish newborn infants [5], and 59% in Spanish newborns [6]. Salmon patch usually disappears with aging, and the persistence of salmon patch shows a lower rate, though nuchal salmon patches in particular tend to persist [7,8].…”

Erythema at the base of the head is often seen in healthy adults, and this nuchal erythema could be a persistent salmon patch. Nuchal salmon patches tend to persist, and are often seen in adults. Our survey found that 71.1% (32/45) of our adult subjects without skin disease had a salmon patch at the nuchal location. This incidence is higher than that indicated in previous reports. In this studying, most nuchal salmon patches have a drop shape. [5], and 59% in Spanish newborns [6]. Salmon patch usually disappears with aging, and the persistence of salmon patch shows a lower rate, though nuchal salmon patches in particular tend to persist [7,8]. In one study, nuchal salmon patches were detected in 501 of 1,084 (46.2%) Danish school-aged girls and 382 of 1,087 (35.1%) Danish school-aged boys [9]. Another study found that 13 of 275 (4.7%) medical students developed nuchal salmon patches [7]. Verbov and Steinberg studied the presence or absence of a salmon patch over the occiput and nape in 67 males and 121 females, finding typical nuchal patches in 51 (42%) of the females and forty (60%) of the males [8]. We often see salmon patch persisting as a nuchal lesion (Figure 1), and we investigated this phenomenon in 45 subjects (male, 12; female, 33) without skin disease, aged 15 to 49 years. We excluded subjects younger than 15 years and older than 50 years from our survey, because people in these age groups often develop hemangioma or seborrheic dermatitis. The ratio of persistent nuchal salmon patch was higher than expected: we found it in 71.1% (32/45 cases) of our subjects (Table 1), specifically in 69.7% (23/33 cases) of female subjects and in 75% (9/12 cases) of males (Table 1). This is a higher incidence than that reported in other studies [7][8][9]. Keywords
