Louise Sivak :

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.

Louise Sivak :

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.

Louise Sivak :

It is treated #1 by treating the underlying condition. It may also respond to steroids.

Louise Sivak :

Hello?

Louise Sivak :

Sweet's IS a vasculitis.

Louise Sivak :

It is a specific type.

Louise Sivak :

I do not think you were MISdiagnosed.

Louise Sivak :

Steroids do not predispose to cancer.

Customer :
