ABSTRACT
Congenital erosive and vesicular dermatosis (CEVD) is a rare skin condition that most commonly presents as erosive and vesicular lesions on the trunk and extremities in premature infants and heals with characteristic reticulated and supple scarring (RSS). The exact pathogenesis of CEVD is unknown and is typically a diagnosis of exclusion. We present the cases of two extremely premature neonates with Candida septicemia who were found to have diffuse, erythematous skin eruptions shortly after birth that ultimately healed with RSS. Through these cases, we highlight the importance of including fungal infection in the work-up of CEVD healing with RSS.
