I have EB, the type i have is simplex dowling meara.. Im in my teenage years and as a girl i dont usually worry about what people think of my appearance. But sometimes i get some blisters which i pop with the right equipment, then they turn into scabs but they always spread. So then i end up with this huge black thing on my face which people love to stare at! I want to know ways to prevent this from happening?

My daughter has epidermolysis bullosa simplex. She's two years old.?


for her age, i cant make her understand that it's a disorder that has no treatment or even medication. but whenever she develops blisters, she just cries so helplessly and she even asks me to give her medication to 'cure' the blisters ( she can speak well for her age). most of the times i'll just apply some baby lotions and lie to her that i'm applying medication and that'll help ease the pain. what's worse is sometimes she develops really big blisters. and when she gets them, she gets fever too. i dont know what's the connection, maybe she gets fever out of the pain. what can i do to help her ease the pain?

she took it after her daddy. he still gets blisters but he's a man.. im quite worried about my daughter because she often gets blisters around her waist area where there's pressure from the napkins and diapers. even a new pair of shoes causes blisters on her toes, etc.. i wonder how much of suffering she has to endure when she grows up and starts wearing undergarments and even sanitary pads..

That's certainly not common for EBsimplex to show up at such an early age, and in the areas that you've mentioned. Have you had a biopsy performed on either your daughter's or your husband's blisters? There are now numerous different types of epidermolysis bullosa (more than were appreciated in the past), and the underlying pathology is now understood much more than in the past. There is also a national support group, which has all the latest information. In addition, if the blisters keep your daughter from enjoying a normal, active childhood, you might want to look into sending her to camp Discovery in the summer, for fun activities with other kids who also have EB, etc. Check all of these out with your dermatologist.  (+ info)
