Abstract
Skin lesions in newborns and infants are characterized by a significant diversity, due to which their diagnosis is quite complex and requires knowledge of the clinical picture of a large range of both common and rare dermatoses. The article describes a clinical case of a rare Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome linked to the X-chromosome.
