TLDR The cat's skin condition improved after stopping drugs and using iodine, confirming it was sterile neutrophilic dermatitis.
A 7-year-old male domestic short hair cat presented with severe dermatological lesions on its abdomen and inner thighs, characterized by devitalized skin and ulcerative hemorrhagic lesions. Differential diagnoses included drug reaction and various skin conditions, but histopathology showed superficial pustules and ulceration without bacterial presence. After discontinuing all drugs and applying local therapy with povidone iodine, the cat's lesions improved significantly, leading to a diagnosis of sterile neutrophilic dermatitis.
