Everything is a joke to you. Read and learn new things so that you can contribute to discussions.

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a rare, serious disorder of the skin and mucous membranes, typically triggered by a reaction to medications or infections. It causes painful red or purplish rashes, blisters, and skin peeling, often affecting the eyes, mouth, and genitals. In severe cases, it can progress to toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), where large areas of skin detach.

**Key Points:**
- **Causes**: Commonly linked to medications like allopurinol, anticonvulsants (e.g., lamotrigine, carbamazepine), antibiotics (e.g., sulfonamides), or NSAIDs. Infections like Mycoplasma pneumoniae or herpes viruses can also trigger it.
- **Symptoms**: Starts with flu-like symptoms (fever, sore throat), followed by rash, blisters, and mucosal involvement (e.g., eye redness, mouth sores). Skin sloughing occurs in severe cases.
- **Diagnosis**: Based on clinical symptoms, history of drug exposure, and sometimes skin biopsy showing epidermal necrosis.
- **Treatment**: Immediate cessation of the offending drug, hospitalization (often in ICU or burn unit), ive care (fluids, nutrition), and sometimes corticosteroids or IV immunoglobulin. Wound care is critical.
- **Prognosis**: Mortality ranges from 5-10% for SJS to 30-50% for TEN. Survivors may face complications like vision loss or chronic skin issues.
- **Risk Factors**: Genetic predisposition (e.g., HLA-B*1502 gene in some populations), HIV, or autoimmune conditions increase risk.

If you suspect SJS, seek emergency medical care immediately, as it’s life-threatening. For specific cases or triggers, please provide more details, and I can tailor the response further.

Sorry. It may/ not be SJ's. Kindly present to a Secondary Health care Facility (General Hospital, reputable private facility), so a proper/ correct diagnosis can be made; tying in your symptoms with the History, and other aspects; and appropriate treatment started or referral done.

I was diagnosed by a medical doctor.

Dancebreaker:

Hmmmmmm

9 years is a long time for SJS.

You didn't mention the cause, how old you were when it started, treatment since and previous and current severity.
Any internal organs affected? Any necrolysis?

Was it diagnosed and treated early? Is it recurring or you are left with the scarring?

Maybe you medication that may have caused it, or if you were a child, did you have a bout of infection before it started?

How was it diagnosed?

These info will help those who can advise you.
