Congenital cutaneous candidiasis (CCC) is a rare and usually benign disorder that develops within the first week of life. It predominantly presents with diffuse maculopapular and papulopustular erythematous desquamating patches. We report a preterm neonate with respiratory distress syndrome and skin diffuse maculopapular lesions at birth. Candida albicans was isolated from skin and gastrointestinal fluid culture; she underwent medical treatment with topical and systemic antifungal with clinical improvement and skin lesions resolution.
