Hi
Skin rashes,itching,peeling of skin and other dermatological side effects can occur with phenytoin.In case of severe side effects ,the drug should be stopped.Other alternate anticonvulsants should be started immediately after physician consultation to avoid risk of seizures.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
