Abstract
A 10-days-old male neonate presented with multiple bullae, mostly in the diaper region, without signs of illness. We diagnosed this condition as neonatal bullous impetigo and treated the patient orally with flucloxacillin. Bullous impetigo is caused by Staphylococcus aureus toxins that break down intercellular proteins.
