Dermatitis herpetiformis

An autoimmune disease where neutrophils characteristically accumulate at the tips of the dermal papillae, leading to subepidermal blisters.

Erythema elevatum diutinum

A rare vasculitis presenting as persistent, firm, red-to-purple plaques and nodules over extensor surfaces and joints.

Leucocytoclastic vasculitis

The hallmark is palpable purpura, caused by a neutrophilic infiltrate around small blood vessels leading to their destruction.

Linear IgA disease

An autoimmune disease where a band-like infiltrate of neutrophils along the basement membrane causes vesicles and bullae.

Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands

A localized variant of Sweet's syndrome presenting as tender, erythematous plaques with a pseudovesicular or bullous appearance on the back of the hands.

Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis

Presents as tender, erythematous plaques and papules, often in patients on chemotherapy, caused by a neutrophilic infiltrate specifically around eccrine sweat glands.

Pyoderma gangrenosum

Characterized by an inflammatory papule or pustule that rapidly expands into a painful ulcer with a distinctive violaceous, undermined, and irregular border.
