Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare group of inherited skin disorders that manifests as blistering of the skin in the varying degrees of severity and can severely incapacitate the life of the afflicted patient. The severity can range from a mild, localized disease to a generalized, devastating process. Although the clinical features are multiple and varied, treatment still remains a major challenge. EB Simplex (EBS) is the most common and dominantly inherited disease. In EBS, the blisters are usually present at birth or appear during the neonatal period.
