Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare group of skin disorders which is characterized by extreme fragility of skin and mucous memberane, which leads to formation of blisters and skin lesions. It affects 1 out of every 50,000 live births. There is no specific treatment, daily wound care and pain management are the only available treatment options.
