| • | follicular (therefore spares palms and soles) vs. transient neonatal pustular melanosis (which often affects palms and soles) |
| • | affects all body surfaces except palms and soles (vs. neonatal scabies) |
| • | ddx: neonatal HSV, transient neonatal pustular melanosis, neonatal scabies |

(which reminds you that ETN is follicular and therefore the one that spares the palms and soles (vs. transient neonatal pustular melanosis or neonatal scabies)
