A Nigerian teenager living in the UK, Marian Adejokun, nearly died when her skin peeled off after a rare allergic reaction to eye drops.

According to Metro, a London-based newspaper, Marian Adejokun was left covered in blisters within hours of using a small dose of Optrex to relieve an itchy eye.
 
“Her face was full of blisters, her lips were very swollen and the doctors didn’t know what was going on,” said her mother, Remi.
 
“I was crazy, beyond the worried stage and near to losing my mind.”
 
Marian spent almost a month in intensive care at the Royal London Hospital, where the 19-year-old was finally diagnosed with the condition known as Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
 
“I saw death knocking at my daughter’s door, all because of an eye drop,” added Mrs Adejokun, who was told to expect the worst.
 
However, there was a breakthrough when Marian, from Croydon, south London, started responding to the sound of her mother’s voice.
 
‘As she lay on the bed, unable to talk, I said, ‘Marian, you’ve just made it to university, that’s your dream’, and she moved her toe.”
 
Marian, who has a hole in her heart, and recently had back surgery to cure osteosclerosis, was discharged last week. Months of treatment
