EB
EB, or Epidermolysis Bullosa, is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by fragile skin that blisters easily. This condition is caused by mutations in genes responsible for producing proteins that help anchor the skin layers together. As a result, even minor friction or trauma can lead to painful blisters and wounds.
There are several types of EB, including EB simplex, junctional EB, and dystrophic EB, each varying in severity and symptoms. Treatment focuses on wound care, pain management, and preventing infections, as there is currently no cure for this condition. Supportive therapies and specialized care can improve the quality of life for those affected.
