Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
Keeping the skin dry and protected with emollients, leaving the area exposed to light and air periodically, changing the diaper frequently, and avoiding plastic pants will prevent diaper rash.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
The strawberry nevus is a common hemangioma (consists of dilated capillaries in the dermal space) that may not become apparent for a few weeks after birth. Although it is harmless and usually disappears without treatment, it is disturbing to parents, especially when it appears on the head or face. At first it is flat, but it gradually becomes raised. The lesions gradually blanch, with 60 disappearing spontaneously by 5 years of age and 90 disappearing by 9 years of age. Laser treatment or excision may be considered if the area becomes ulcerated.
