As usual, you are all doing very well. This is a very early lesion of Sweet's disease and yes you must exclude all other causes of a dense neutrophilic infitrate particularly infection both bacterial and fungal. The list of differential diagnoses is huge but could include for example pyoderma gangrenosum, Behcet's disease etc.

Diffuse neutrophilic infiltrate and nuclear dust. This goes with Sweet syndrome, but I can see also lymphocytes and plasma cells and the papillary dermal edema characteristic of sweet syndrome is not seen here. I can't exclude the possibility of an infection such as atypical mycobacteria or deep mycosis (suupurative reaction).
