Overview

Unlike toxic epidermal necrolysis, SSSS spares the mucous membranes. Skin biopsy may show separation of the superficial layer of the epidermis, differentiating SSSS from TEN, wherein the epidermal-dermal layer is separated in the latter. SSSS may be difficult to distinguish from toxic epidermal necrolysis and pustular psoriasis.
