Neurotrophic dermatoses

Neutrophilic dermatoses are a group of skin conditions characterized by an abnormal accumulation of neutrophils in the skin.

Examples of neutrophilic dermatoses include:

1. Sweet’s syndrome or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis.

Sweet’s syndrome is characterized by fever, painful skin lesions, and an elevated number of neutrophils in the blood and tissues.

2. Pyoderma gangrenosum: an ulcerative skin condition that presents as rapidly progressing, painful ulcers with undermined borders and necrotic tissue.

3. Behçet’s disease: Can involve neutrophilic skin lesions such as papulopustular lesions and erythema nodosum.

4. Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis: a rare inflammatory disorder of the sweat glands, typically seen in patients with autoimmune or hematologic disorders.
