If you have Sweet's syndrome, it's important to treat your skin gently. These steps can help reduce additional injury to the skin:

  • Avoid injury to your skin. Wear protective clothing if you think you might injure or damage your skin.
  • Apply sunscreen. Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or greater before you head outdoors.
