Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex is a genetic condition in which friction or injury to the skin would result in blisters. In mild cases, the feet and hands can be affected. But the condition would become worse and cause blisters to spread to the whole body, which makes you more prone to dehydration and infections. The main goal of treatment is to protect the skin from any injury or friction that would cause blisters. Common options include:
– Wear shoes that do not cause irritation to the skin or blisters
– Put on wound dressings to protect the skin from further damage during recovery
– Apply antibiotics when infections happen
– Use keratolytic to prevent the hardening of the skin on the feet and hands
– Use aluminum chloride to reduce blisters
– Physical therapy for people with walking problems [5]
