Optional Information: Person's Gender: Female Person's Age: 64 Already Tried: I've been on steroids for the vascultius which I never had.Iknow thats dangerous for cancer...what about Sweets Syndrome
Sweet's syndrome — also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis — is a skin condition marked by fever and painful skin lesions that appear mainly on your arms, face and neck.
Hello, I've attached a succinct diagnosis from MayoClinic that I hope is helpful. Sweets's syndrome often occurs in conjunction with a malignancy or other inflammatory condition and responds to its primary treatment. Sweet's is not "dangerous for" cancer, but can happen with it.
It is treated #1 by treating the underlying condition. It may also respond to steroids.
Hello?
Sweet's IS a vasculitis.
It is a specific type.
I do not think you were MISdiagnosed.
Steroids do not predispose to cancer.
Thank you
