If you have been diagnosed with Epidermolysis Bullosa, you may be feeling distressed or concerned about your future.
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic condition that affects the skin and mucous membranes, making them very fragile and prone to blistering and tearing, even with minor friction or trauma.
EB can be a painful and debilitating condition that can impact a person’s quality of life. For those living with EB, a care plan is essential for managing the symptoms and ensuring prompt treatment of wounds and sores.
Symptoms
The symptoms of EB can vary depending on the type and severity of the condition. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and they can often include:
- Blisters and sores on the skin and mucous membranes
- Thickened and hardened skin
- Pain and itching
- Nail deformities
- Difficulty swallowing and eating
