Epidermolysis bullosa simplex

A group of genetic conditions that cause the skin to be very fragile and to blister easily

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is classified into two groups of subtypes by the layer of skin at which the peeling originates

The basal subtypes cause skin peeling at the lower layers of the epidermis

The suprabasal subtypes cause skin peeling at the upper layers of the epidermis

Symptoms of EBS range from mild in the Weber-Cockayne type to severe with blistering that is often present at birth
