Pediatr Dermatol. 2009 May-Jun;26(3):358-60. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1470.2009.00919.x.

Abstract

In Sweet's syndrome, the essential features are the characteristic morphology of the lesions, their histologic appearance, the dramatic response to corticosteroids and the absence of scarring. We report an 8-month-old infant in whom Sweet's syndrome was diagnosed and who developed acquired cutis laxa in the skin lesions.
