Thanks John, the medication they prescribe does not help. This is my 29 year old grandson. it starts with mouth Ulcers, his hands and face break out with sores. He is constantly being hospitalized because it takes 5 days to go away.
@babyur4me do you know what medication the doctors prescribed for him?
I also use Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) when searching for new treatments or trials. I did a search just now and found an article from the Journal of Dermatological Science, Volume 92, Issue 1, October 2018, Pages 38-44 which may provide some new information:
yes,
prednisone,Valacyclovir,Lidocaine mouth wash and Azithromycin for a 5 day treatment after being hospitalized. His Potassium usually drops that he needs IV fluids

Hi @babyur4me, sadly I think @jackie3 is no longer participating on Connect. Her last post was January 2012. I had thought maybe tagging her would bring her back to Connect so she could share treatment information with you.
I hope your grandson has access to specialists in Dermatology and rare disease treatment. My husband had erathema multiforme 3 times. We were fortunate to discover the trigger the first two times. First was a prescription for a statin; next was a viramin supplement; and the last may have been other medical conditions. He was treated by his internist the first time; by his regular dermatologist the second; and referred to the special wound treatment department of a local hospital for the third—which was the most serious. We were able to get home health care for this treatment since I was recovering from hip replacement. That was over three years ago and he’s had additional major surgery since then with no recurrence. I hope your grandson gets relief soon

I'm not sure if you are aware of the National Organization for Rare Disorders website but it may provide some information that is helpful.
