epidermolysis bullosa
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of rare genetic disorders that cause fragile skin, leading to blisters and sores from minor friction or trauma. This condition occurs due to mutations in genes responsible for producing proteins that help anchor the layers of skin together.
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.
