Bullous Epidermolysis
Bullous epidermolysis is characterized by extreme skin fragility, which leads to the formation of blisters (bullae) and lesions at the slightest trauma, as well as by mucosal involvement. It is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in genes that interfere with the production of the proteins needed for skin integrity.
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.
