< p>Recently, a 17-year-old girl, Xiaomei (pseudonym), accompanied by her parents, went to the Department of Dermatology and Venereal Diseases of Guangxi Nationalities Hospital for medical treatment.

From the 3rd day, Xiaomei’s skin began to develop some small red spots, and then the symptoms gradually increased. On day 5, the small red spots turned into larger erythema, densely packed, and blistered. Xiaomei’s lips were extremely painful, as if she had been scalded, and the skin on her body hurt like a needle stick. At the same time, Xiaomei couldn’t even speak clearly.
