Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis

Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is a severe skin condition often triggered by medication reactions, infections, or other factors. It involves widespread skin peeling and can resemble severe burns, as layers of skin separate and detach from the body. This leads to fluid loss, infection risk, and other serious complications. TEN affects mucous membranes, causing pain and discomfort. Prompt medical treatment is crucial, often requiring hospitalization and supportive care. Due to its severity, early recognition and management are vital to improving outcomes and reducing the risk of long-term effects or death.
