Newborn Baby Rashes on Face and Skin

As a Pediatrician, I get shown rashes aaaallll the time. Rashes can be worrisome to a caregiver, especially on newborns.
Luckily, most rashes on newborns are benign (not worrisome) and self-limiting (go away on their own).
In this video, I go over 11 common newborn rashes and provide some pictures.*
Here is what you can expect in this video:
1:23: Milia
2:05 :"Stork Bites"
3:06: Congenital Dermal Melanocytosis or "Mongolian Spots"
4:13: Neonatal Acne**
8:20: Drool rashes
9:55: Erythema Toxicum
11:02: Cutis Marmorata
11:38: Cradle Cap/Seborrheic Dermatitis
13:42: Tip for managing benign rashes in newborns
14:40: Heat Rash
15:54: Transient Neonatal Pustular Melanosis
16:39: Dry Peeling skin
17:56: Why do newborns always have blemishes??

    There are safely concerns regarding baby powders that contain talc so their use isn’t recommended in general. Regarding those without talc, I haven’t seen any evidence of their use in baby acne and usually recommend observation alone unless it’s severe or persistent, in which case it’s best to see your clinician
