These severe skin rashes can include hypersensitivity syndrome, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis. All of these have been reported with the use of allopurinol. The rash can usually include sores in the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, or eye inflammation (red and swollen eyes). These severe skin reactions are often preceded by flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches. The rash can develop into blisters over large areas and skin detachment. These severe skin reactions may be more common in people of male, Chinese, Thai, or Korean descent. Chronic Kidney disease may further increase the risk in these patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
