Description

Newborn Rashes

By the end of this presentation, participants should be able to recognize and distinguish between common newborn rashes, such as erythema toxicum neonatorum, neonatal acne, milia, and diaper dermatitis. In addition, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of the clinical significance of various newborn rashes, including potential underlying conditions or risk factors. They will also become familiar with evidence-based management strategies for these rashes, including when to observe, when to intervene, and when to refer to a specialist. Finally, participants will be equipped with communications skills to effectively counsel and educate parents about newborn rashes, including explaining the benign nature of common rashes, offering reassurance, providing guidance on at-home care, and addressing parental concerns.

Objectives:

  • Identify and differentiate common newborn rathes
  • Understand the clinical significance and management of newborn rashes
  • Promote effective communication with parents.

 

Cultural Sensitivity and Inclusion

We are often reminded that the practice of medicine is an art as well as a science. The "art" side of the equation includes skills related to building patient and supporter relationships, communication, and generally creating an environment where patients can feel seen and heard.

Objectives:

  • Discuss the importance of cultural humility in the physician-patient relationship and relationships with colleagues.
  • Describe what it means for a physician to practice inclusion.
