Other epidermolysis bullosa - what does this mean
Other epidermolysis bullosa is a group of genetic skin disorders that cause the skin to become fragile and blister easily from minor injury or friction. the blisters can occur anywhere on the body and may be accompanied by scarring, skin infections, and other complications.
What happens during the disease - other epidermolysis bullosa
Other epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic disorder that is caused by a mutation in the genes responsible for the production of certain proteins that are essential for the structural integrity of the skin and other tissues. this mutation results in weakened or deficient proteins, leading to the formation of fragile skin that is easily damaged and prone to blistering. in some cases, the affected individual may also experience problems with the nails, teeth, and mucous membranes.
