Neutrophils have both antimicrobial ability and pathogenic effect in the immune system, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation is one of the representative behaviors of their dual role. NETs formation was triggered by pathogen-related components and pathogen non-related proteins as cytokines to exert its effector functions. Recent studies indicate that the pathogenicity of NETs contributed to several skin diseases such as psoriasis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and neutrophilic dermatosis. Especially in neutrophilic dermatosis, a heterogeneous group of inflammatory skin disorders characterized with sterile neutrophilic infiltrate on dermis, NETs formation was reported as the way of participation of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of these diseases. In this review, we describe the different processes of NETs formation, then summarized the most recent updates about the pathogenesis of neutrophilic dermatosis and the participation of NETs, including pyoderma gangrenosum and PAPA syndrome, Behçet syndrome, hidradenitis suppurativa, Sweet Syndrome, pustular dermatosis and other neutrophilic dermatosis. Furthermore, we discuss the link between NETs formation and the development of neutrophilic dermatosis.
