Answer And Discussion
The correct answer is “D.” Erythema toxicum neonatorum.
Erythema toxicum neonatorum is a common, benign, self-limited rash seen in term infants. Lesions usually appear after 24 hours of age. Lesions may begin as erythematous macules that progress to
yellow pustules on an erythematous base, may be sparse or numerous and involve the trunk and
extremities, sparing the palms and soles.
The etiology is unknown and the diagnosis is clinical.
Transient neonatal pustular melanosis usually affects term African American infants presenting at birth with pustules on a hyperpigmented macule that may involve the palms and soles.
Neonatal herpes presents with blisters or erosions and an ill-appearing child. Diagnosis is made via a Tzanck preparation demonstrating multinucleated giant cells, viral culture, or direct fluorescent
antibody for HSV 1 or 2. Commonly seen in warm climates,
Miliaria or “prickly heat” is due to blocked sweat ducts presenting as noninflamed pinpoint clear diffuse vesicles.
Epidermolysis bullosa is a chronic blistering disease presenting as blisters at sites of mild trauma.
Hello, my name is Betty. i was diagnosed of HIV virus 4 years back. Before then, i was dating this Derrick guy. we had something great going on. Our love life only lasted for 8 months. the sixth and seven month of our relationship, i began feeling very weak every now and then. But i never suspected anything until I kept on experiencing different symptoms like having sore throats, constant headache, body weakness e.t.c. I decided to go for a medical check up. I was tested HIV positive. when the doctor broke the news to me, it was as if my whole world had crumbled. it dawned on me then that Derrick has been lying to me. i was very mad to an extent i almost committed suicide. But there was nothing i could do, other than weep and weep. ever since then, i have been spending heavily on medications, going from one medical clinic or the other so I can look healthy. Though since i was a kid, i love herbs a lot. i take herbal tea with grandma while growing so i am quite familiar with herbs. early last year, i was on the internet and on a particular health blog, to check for herbal medication as alternative. I saw many comments and read many testimonies. Until i came across a particular testimony on how Dr.ugo cured a patient from herpes simplex virus using pure natural herbs. i reached out to the doctor because I also was thinking Herpes had no cure. I told him about my HIV status.He encouraged me not to panic that he will help me get my deliverance. he prepared some herbs and sent them to me. The herbs were in four 70ml bottles and I took them morning and night. i used as he directed, and in less than three weeks, i started having appetite to eat plenty of food and i gained back my strength. the fourth week,I consumed all the herbal meds. He encouraged me to go for a test which i did. This time, the result was negative. I quickly contacted the doctor and informed him of the news. I immediately asked him to prepare for Derrick too. He did and sent it. Today, me and Derrick are HIV free. All thanks goes to God Almighty for healing us through Dr.Ugo. if you are having any kind of sickness at all, Dr.Ugo is the right person to talk to and i assure you, you will be glad you did.
