Toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Abstract

Although Ms Weeks was supported throughout this period, we were concerned that she would require further psychological help. At the end of her stay she decided that she did not require help. However, she knew that if at a later date she changed her mind, it would be arranged. Ms Weeks was offered an appointment with the Red Cross camouflage service, which was on hand to offer advice about appropriate techniques to hide the hyperpigmentation on her face and other exposed areas, but this again was declined. Ms Weeks was in ICU for three-and-a-half weeks and her skin healed well. She was left with multihyperpigmented skin, which over time may resolve itself.
