General Discussion
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a hereditary skin problem identified medically by sore formation from mechanical injury. There are 4 primary types with added sub-types recognized. There is a spectrum of seriousness, and within each type, one could be either mildly or badly affected. EB varies from being a minor trouble requiring modification of some tasks, to being completely disabling as well as, sometimes, deadly.

Rubbing causes sore formation. Blisters could develop anywhere on the surface of the skin, within the oral cavity and in more severe kinds may likewise entail the exterior surface area of the eye, as well as the respiratory, intestinal and genitourinary tracts. In some forms of the disease, damaging scars and disabling musculoskeletal defects occur.

Presently, there is no treatment for EB. Supportive care includes day-to-day injury care, bandaging, and discomfort management as needed.
