The diffuse infiltrate and case history favor Sweet’s syndrome, but I’d expected a pseudobullous lesion due to marked papillary dermal edema. Conversely, I didn’t see all that dermal edema, and there’s a true subepidermal blister with signs of re-epithelialization and scattered single necrotic keratinocytes. So, I add Sweet’s-like drug reaction.
