A woman whose entire skin peeled off after a rare reaction to a drug has made a 'miraculous' recovery
She developed blisters and swelling on her face and within days, her skin was coming off "in sheets".
Doctors at the University of California Regional Burn Center in San Diego saved her life by covering her in artificial skin which helped her own skin heal.
She first noticed some minor swelling and discoloration in her face, then blistering on her lips and swelling on her eyes.
Soon, her face, chest and arms were covered in blisters and skin all over her body began to fall off.
Even the skin on her internal organs and the membranes covering her mouth, throat and eyes came away. :eek:
