Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa treatment in Zapopan

When the skin forms blisters with rubbing from the first days of life, an early evaluation is advisable: junctional epidermolysis bullosa is a genetic disease in which the layers of the skin separate at the level of the junction zone between the epidermis and the dermis, producing fragile lesions.

Common characteristics: blisters and erosions on the skin and mucous membranes, difficulty healing and, at times, involvement of the nails or dental enamel.

Origin: it results from variants in genes that encode the anchoring proteins of the skin, with a hereditary pattern.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist carries out the study and care of the skin, frequently within a team accustomed to rare skin conditions. If you observe marked skin fragility or repeated blisters in a baby or child, the most prudent thing is for a dermatologist to evaluate it.
