Epidermolysis bullosa

Epidermolysis bullosa, also called butterfly skin or butterfly disease, refers to a genetic dermatological disease, with blistering of the skin or mucous membranes due to skin fragility.

There are 3 types, which in turn contain different subtypes:

- Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (blistering especially on hands, feet, generalized)

- junctional epidermolysis bullosa (mucous membrane, gastrointestinal tract, acral blisters, nail dystrophies, enamel defects)

- epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica (scarring, disability, decreased life expectancy)

Epidermolysis bullosa, also called butterfly skin or butterfly disease, refers to a genetic dermatological disease, with blistering of the skin or mucous membranes due to cutaneous infiltration.

Three types are distinguished, which in turn contain different subtypes:

• - epidermolysis bullosa simplex (blistering, especially of hips, furs, generalized)
• - Epidermolysis bullosa junctionalis (mucous membrane, gastrointestinal tract, acral blisters, nail dystrophies, enamel defects).
• - Epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica (scarring, invalidity, decreased life expectancy)
