Pediatric dermatology shows a very broad spectrum. This includes infections, inflammatory dermatoses, allergies, autoimmune diseases, auto-inflammatory syndromes and tumors. Some diseases, such as the erythema toxicum neonatorum, occur only in neonatal age. The many diverse diseases all have a specific pattern, which includes morphology, distribution, history (of the patient and the family), cutaneous and extracutaneous symptoms. The pediatric dermatology quiz will reflect these patterns.
