Leiner's disease is a systemic skin disorder that extends to erythroderma, typically diagnosed in early infancy, and is marked by long-lasting seborrheic dermatitis along with an increased susceptibility to infection. Affected newborns often develop a patch or large patch of red skin, usually starting on the buttocks and then spreading over the rest of the body; the condition is classified as a rare disease, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States.
