ABSTRACT

Epidermolysis bullosa is a family of inherited blistering skin disorders characterized by blister formation in response to mechanical trauma. Major types of epidermolysis bullosa include epidermolysis bullosa simplex, hemidesmosomal epidermolysis bullosa, junctional epidermolysis bullosa and dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.
Pretibial dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is an extremely rare type of epidermolysis bullosa. Blisters develop exclusively on the pretibial areas after minor trauma. Improvement as patient gets older.
