Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa treatment in Huixquilucan

Understanding dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa begins with knowing that it is a hereditary skin disorder characterized by marked skin fragility that causes blisters with mild trauma. It is part of the epidermolysis bullosa group and affects the deep layers where the skin anchors to the underlying tissues.

Common symptoms: blisters that leave wounds, scars and, in some cases, retraction of the skin on the hands and joints. The nails and mucous membranes can also be affected.

Common causes: it originates from genetic variants that alter the fibers responsible for holding the skin layers together, being passed down from generation to generation.

When to see a doctor? In the face of recurrent blisters with no apparent cause, wounds that do not close or a family history of fragile skin. The dermatologist is the professional suited to study the case; it is worth consulting one to establish care and personalized follow-up of the skin.
