Neutrophilic dermatoses.
The neutrophilic dermatoses are a group of related cutaneous disorders that frequently have systemic manifestations or associations. While there are distinct clinical differences in the classical lesions of these disorders, there are many patients who have overlapping features. In addition, the associated systemic manifestations or associated diseases are often similar among these disorders. Finally, the management of these disorders with the frequent use of corticosteroids and nonsteroidal immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory agents is common.
