Neonatal acne – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1302834639
Acne presenting at birth or shortly afterwards, generally with predominantly comedonal lesions of the cheeks and a paucity of inflammatory lesions. It is thought to be due to hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands stimulated by neonatal androgens from the testes in boys and adrenals in girls.
