Abstract
1000 consecutive live births taking place between April 2006 to June 2006 were evaluated for a minimum period of 3 days to note for the occurrence of various normal anatomical variants specially those of skin. Parental awareness, birth weight, gestational age, maternal age, socioeconomic status and consanguinity were carefully recorded in all the cases. Mongolian spots (67.6%), milia (35.3%), Epstein pearls (34.2%), erythema toxicum (28.8%), jaundice (29.4%) and white discharge (22.8%), were the common neonatal variants noted. Gestational age of the babies at birth and birth weight are important factors in their causation as recorded in our study. Significant number of parents expressed their anxiety and concern as they were unaware of these normal variants, highlighting the need for parental education
