Mongolian Spot
Abstract
Mongolian SpotABSTRACT
Neonatal skin provides physical protection and allies in fluid balance, immunosurveillance and thermoregulation, thus playing a crucial role in the newborn’s transition from an aqueous to an air dominant milieau. Quiet large number of changes from transient physiological to grossly pathological lesions are observed in the skin of a neonate. The majority of the disorders in the newborn are physiological, transient and self-limited and majorly require no therapy. Mongolian spot is found as blue, green spot majorly on the shoulders and lower part of the body, scientifically Mongolian spots can be delineated as deep dermal melanocytes present in the collagen bundle.
Keywords: dermal, melanocytes, Mongolian spot, neonatal
