Abstract

Keratin
Byline: Tammy Sadighi; Cheryl Swayne Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a rare autosomal dominant, genetic condition where bullous lesions, larger than 0.5 cm, affect an area of the skin that is exposed to mechanical friction or minor trauma. Prevention of the bullous lesions starts with family and patient education, with infants requiring greater care and control of their environment. Every individual with EBS will have a treatment plan specifically tailored to the severity and extent of skin involvement. This article provides a comprehensive overview of EBS, including diagnostic approach, preventative considerations, and current treatments.
