Toxic epidermal necrolysis. 2 weeks after taking Allopurinol in recurrent attacks of gout, itching and redness on the back for the first time, within a few days dramatic worsening of the general condition with several acute, flat, generalized, randomly distributed, sharply defined, red, weeping and painful erosions.
