Father is left in a coma with his skin peeling off after horrific allergic reaction to over-the-counter IBUPROFEN

A father spent nine days in a coma with his skin blistering and peeling off his face after taking ibuprofen for flu. 

Jason Ryan, 28, from Washington, near Sunderland, suffered the severe allergic reaction which is believed to have been sparked by taking the over-the-counter drug.

The bizarre condition is known as Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS), and causes the cells in skin to die before shedding - rather like a snake's.The disorder affects just two people in every million, but can be fatal if left untreated.
