Teledermatology is the delivery of dermatologic health care to remote locations by means of telecommunications and information technology. It facilitates delivery of services by a dermatologist at a different time and place than the patient who receives them. Both real-time videoconferences and store-and-forward systems have proven to be highly reliable and accurate in teledermatologic diagnosis compared to traditional face-to-face diagnosis.

A reddish brown eruption


This 3-month-old infant was born with a generalized mottled eruption
comprised of reddish brown maculopapules. The mother of the infant
reported that the eruption would turn bight red and edematous as the
child cried. There was no family history of atopic diatheses. What
would be the differential diagnosis?
