Epidermolysis Bullosa

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a group of rare genetic skin disorders characterized by extreme fragility of the skin and mucous membranes. In individuals with EB, even minor trauma or friction can cause severe blisters and wounds, leading to significant pain and risk of infection. There are several types of EB, ranging from mild to severe, with varying impacts on quality of life.

In dermatology, effective management focuses on wound care, pain control, and preventing complications. Dermatologists play a crucial role in developing individualized treatment plans, which may include advanced dressings and topical therapies. Cosmetology can also offer supportive strategies, such as using gentle skincare products and techniques that minimize skin trauma. Collaborative care between dermatologists and cosmetologists is essential for enhancing the well-being and self-esteem of individuals with EB.
