Was it due to medication prescibed?? If so, which meds were prescribed. (I ask b/c my dr gave me LAMICTAL and the first line of pharmacy pamphlet says may cause STEVEN JOHNSONS to come on. Very nervous about taking this new (new to me) med. Thank you very much for any assistance!!

Yes, my friend took Bextra for three days and developed Steven Johnsons syndrome.

You don't want that. Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a name for a group of reactions causing severe skin rash, and in extreme cases, skin exfolliation. http://www.webmd.com/allergies/Stevens-Johnson-Syndrome-11013
If a rash of unknown origins presents, contact your MD or pharmacist immediately.
