Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic connective tissue disorder. It has many genetic and symptomatic variations but all share the prominent symptom of extremely fragile skin that blisters and tears from minor friction or trauma. It is always painful, is often pervasive and debilitating. Its affects 1 out of every 50,000 live births and those born with it are often called ‘Butterfly Children’ . There is no treatment or cure.
