Bullous Epidermolysis

There are two major forms of Bullous Epidermolysis:

1 – The E. simplex form / strictly localized form

2 – The E. dystrophic form / generalized systemic form.

The formation of painful blisters involves the separation of the skin layers, and their severity and location vary according to the type of EB.

Main characteristics:

• Skin fragility: The skin is extremely delicate and tears easily at the slightest pressure or friction.
• Blister (bullae) formation: Blisters appear on the skin and mucous membranes (mouth, esophagus, etc.) and can rupture, forming lesions.
• Mucosal lesions: The involvement is not limited to the skin and may also affect the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach and other internal organs.
• Genetic mutations: The condition is caused by inherited genetic mutations that affect the adhesion proteins of the skin, which are crucial to its integrity.
• Significant impact on quality of life: Daily difficulties, pain and the risk of infection can seriously affect the quality of life, independence and social relationships of those affected.

Impact on the body:

Involvement of the skin layers

Microscopically, blister formation is due to the separation of the skin layers, either within the epidermis, at the dermo-epidermal junction, or in the dermis.

Long-term risks: The scarring of lesions can lead to deformities, restricted movement and other complications, as well as the development of skin tumors.
