Epidermolysis Bullosa
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by fragile skin that blisters easily. This condition occurs due to mutations in genes responsible for producing proteins that help anchor the layers of skin together. Blisters can form in response to minor friction or trauma, leading to pain and discomfort.
There are several types of EB, including Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa and Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa, 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.
