Abstract We present the case of a 20‐month‐old boy with congenital neutropenia for which he was being treated with granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (G‐ CSF ) who developed bullous Sweet's syndrome. Because of the challenging and extensive differential diagnosis of an acute bullous eruption in an immunocompromised child, we highlight the importance of a prompt and precise diagnosis before initiation of any systemic therapy in children with Sweet's syndrome.
