Prevention of Generalized Exfoliative Dermatitis
In most cases, erythroderma cannot be prevented.
People with known drug allergy should be made aware that they should avoid the drug forever, and if their reaction was severe, wear a drug alert bracelet. All medical records should be updated if there is an adverse reaction to a medication, and referred to whenever starting a new drug.
Patients with severe skin diseases should be informed if they are at known risk of erythroderma. They should be educated about the risks of discontinuing their medication.
