Overview
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB)
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) refers to a group of inherited disorders characterized by blistering lesions on the skin and mucous membranes. These blisters typically occur in areas prone to friction and minor trauma, such as the hands and feet. EB can also affect internal organs in certain subtypes. It’s important to differentiate EB from common friction blisters and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA), an autoimmune condition unrelated to inheritance.
