Abstract

By the end of pregnancy, fetal skin anatomy and composition are similar to those of adults. By 22–24 weeks all anatomical elements are present, while functional and biochemical maturity takes several years to achieve (Table 148.1). There are structural differences between the skin of the preterm neonate, term neonate and adult that have significant physiological and clinical consequences.
