Epidermolysis bullosa: the challenges of wound care.
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a severe blistering skin disorder. Care for an individual diagnosed with EB can be challenging. Wound care for the more severe types of EB can consume an individual's life; therefore, one of the most important nursing considerations is to educate individuals and family members about proper wound care, products, and different dressing techniques.
