THStevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare but serious skin reaction that usually starts with flu-like symptoms, followed by a painful rash and blistering. It can affect not only the skin, but also the mouth, eyes, and other mucous membranes.
SJS is often triggered by certain medications or, in rare cases, infections. It requires urgent hospital care, as complications can be life-threatening.
If you ever experience sudden, widespread skin pain, blistering, or peeling, especially after starting a new medication, seek medical attention immediately. Early treatment can make all the difference. 🩺🤎
Your skin is your largest organ, and changes like these should never be ignored.
