Specialized Care and Family Training

Managing fragile skin requires advanced medical expertise and persistent daily care. Consequently, our nursing staff conducts direct home visits to evaluate wounds and demonstrate proper care.

Meanwhile, dedicated psychologists offer continuous emotional guidance to help families process complex diagnoses.

In addition, our social workers assist households with administrative procedures, legal rights, and social benefits. We also collaborate closely with local schools and regional health centres. This coordination ensures that children enjoy safe integration into educational environments. As a result, patients experience dignity, personalized attention, and reliable support throughout their routine.

Faq

Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare, genetic and currently incurable condition that causes extreme fragility of the skin, leading to painful open wounds and blistering. This can also affect the internal linings and organs leading to lifelong disability and severe pain.

EB is inherited from parents through a faulty gene: people with EB lack the essential protein that binds the skin together.

Symptoms are varied depending on the type of EB. The lightest touch can cause blistering and painful open wounds. Blistering on hands and feet can cause the fingers and toes to fuse together causing problems with walking and other daily activities. Widespread blistering makes the skin vulnerable to infection and skin cancer. In severe cases the blistering can cover the entire body and internal organs.

EB is not contagious and cannot be passed on through contact.
