Abstract
The structure and functions of the skin were studied in the newborns by noninvasive methods. A comprehensive morphofunctional study was carried out in 10 newborns aged 1—28 days by optical coherent tomography using an optical coherent tomograph fitted with a flexible probe with a microscanner (wavelength 920 nm, longitudinal resolution 20 μ, transverse resolution 25 μ) and a multifunctional unit. The findings indicated that the skin of newborns differed by structure and functions from adolescent skin. The specific features of the newborn skin function were explained by its microstructure. The key differences in the structure, detected in the thick skin, demonstrated an incomplete process of skin structures formation by birth.
