Source abstract
There is limited information available on pressure-related neonatal nasal injuries. We present three neonates born with erythema and purpura of the nasal tip that subsequently ulcerated, then evolved into a thick eschar. Each healed well with conservative management but left behind significant scarring. The sharp demarcation and location of the lesions were suggestive of hypoxic tissue damage akin to halo scalp ring alopecia. Further investigation is necessary to elucidate the etiology and optimal management of this condition.
