title: [Skin care and wound management in patients with inherited bullous epidermolysis].
abstract: Inherited epidermolysis bullosa is a group of diseases characterized by skin/mucous membrane fragility and development of blisters and erosions after insignificant mechanical trauma. It is a multisystemic disease with complications occurring on numerous organs other than the skin. As there is no cure for these diseases, treatment consists of early recognition and therapy of complications, quality wound care and skin protection. Optimal wound treatment depends primarily on the type of the disease, localization and type of wounds. Apart from good skin care, treatment of these patients requires intensive supportive therapy in which various specialists must be involved.
