Chicken Pox and a possible life threatening allergic reaction to a pill

So my girlfriend had a rash in february 2, 2017. She went to the ER on the same day. It's been more than a week and here is a picture (http://imgur.com/a/9g6nm) of her chicken pox. The big red dot is the chicken pox while the other red parts are the rash allegedly caused by a pill. When she was having staying at home she was complaining to me about both her eyes burn for some reason, behind her ears that has a wound that was possibly scratched because of her chicken pox, more chest spots also have appeared on feb 10,11 or 12. I can't remember.

And yesterday feb 12 or 11, she drank 1 pill of gabentin and hours later broke out in a serious rash.
We googled and apparently neurotonin can cause a serious life threatening allergic reaction. She just got back from the E.R. now and the hospital she went to says it might be an allergic reaction but they aren't sure.

This is a picture (http://imgur.com/a/wtdYt) of the rash that was allegedly caused by the pill (gabentin).

Her chest is also peeling for some reason. Here is a picture (http://imgur.com/a/xJTPj) of it. Is this normal?

Right now she's still itchy and feels a burning sensation and we don't know what to do. The doctor gave her prednisone (3 pills) to help the pain from her rash.

She also has Psoriasis condition.


Please help. Thank you.
