Epidermolysis Bullosa treatment in Magdalena Contreras

When the skin becomes so fragile that blisters or wounds form with the slightest rubbing, it may be epidermolysis bullosa, a group of inherited disorders that affect the junction between the layers of the skin.

How it presents: Blisters and injured areas appear after mild friction, small bumps, or even spontaneously, especially on the hands, feet, and pressure areas.

Origin: It is due to genetic alterations in the proteins that give the skin firmness and cohesion.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the one who guides skin care and the follow-up of this condition. If you notice frequent blisters without a clear cause in a baby or in anyone, it is worth consulting specialized care.
