Fulltext PDFToxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is a rare and often fatal muco-cutaneous disease usually related to severe adverse drug reaction. The standard treatment of TEN remains controversial and to our knowledge, all reports in literature are mostly concentrated on systemic therapy. On the contrary, no report deals with deep skin scars that may occur. We therefore present an original case of a severe scarring of the face following TEN, treated by fractional CO2 laser resurfacing.
