Localized Epidermolysis Bullosa
📋Overview
Localized Epidermolysis Bullosa is a term historically used to describe forms of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) where blistering and skin fragility are limited to specific areas rather than widespread. Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of inherited disorders characterized by skin and mucous membrane fragility leading to blister formation with minimal trauma. The modern classification of EB includes several major types: EB simplex, junctional EB, dystrophic EB, and Kindler syndrome. Localized presentations are often seen in milder variants of EB simplex or dystrophic EB. This summary uses current terminology and classification.
