ABSTRACT
A 19-year-old man has presented to his GP with a one-day history of rapid onset of multiple target-like skin lesions. This is associated with sore throat, mouth and lips, and red eyes. He also complains of fever and malaise preceding the onset of the skin lesions. He is fit, with no previous history of any skin disorder or allergy. Seven days earlier he twisted his ankle while playing football and had taken paracetamol and ibuprofen for a few days.
