Erythema toxicum

A benign, widespread, temporary rash called erythema toxicum develops on a newborn as a response to the unfamiliar surroundings. Shortly after birth, it vanishes. It's not the harlequin sign, which is when blood vessels enlarge on one side of the body, causing the skin to be red on one side and white on the other. It is not vernix caseosa, a thick, oily material that covers the skin in utero and is white and thick. The reddish-purple capillary angioma under the dermis known as nevus flammeus, or port wine stain, is not this.
