Could Breaking Down Into Terrible Rash Is SJS. What Is The Treatment For It?
My wife has been told she has Steven Johnson Syndrome which is brought on by an allergic reaction to contrast dye. She just had to have an arteriogram done and then broke out with a terrible red rash and hot to the touch. My question is is this SJS or not and what is the treatment?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, you have diagnosed steven johnson syndrome, SJS red rashes can be found on face , arms, neck, so, it can be symptoms of SJS, treatment is oral doxcycline, analgesics, supportive treatment include intravenous fluids, so go to dermatologist as soon as possible and consult for proper medication and treatment.
Hope this will help you.
