Pustular Skin diseases usually appear on the 5th–6th day of life, but can also be congenital. Blisters containing serous exudate commonly appear on the back of the HEAD, neck, back, and buttocks, rapidly transforming into purulent pustules. After 2–3 days, they rupture, which contributes to the spread of new lesions. Treatment is local and includes skin care, baths with a 0.005% potassium permanganate solution, and Treatment of the affected areas with brilliant green solution.
