Report case

A 40 year old male with a history of hypertension began to notice a skin rash that he initially thought was a mild allergic reaction. However, the red spots spread and turned into painful blisters. Over time, he experienced fever, general discomfort, and sensitivity in the mouth and eyes. As he sought answers, clinical images revealed severe lesions on the skin and mucous membranes.

Immediately upon hospital admission, any medication that could be related was discontinued. He received intensive care, including intravenous fluids to maintain hydration, and measures for skin lesion care, such as chamomile baths, were implemented. The medical team considered the administration of corticosteroids as part of the treatment to control the inflammatory response and prevent complications.
