Answer: Hi.. Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic disorder caused by a gene mutation. it's characterized by the presence of extremely fragile skin and recurrent blister formation, resulting from minor mechanical friction or trauma. so the goal of treatment is only to prevent the formation of blisters and subsequent complications& measures to avoid skin trauma (damage) and to avoid hot environments. because it's a genetic disease , no drugs are known to correct(cure)the underlying molecular defects BUT :- Current clinical research at the University of Minnesota has included a bone marrow transplant to a 2-year-old child who is one of 2 brothers with Epidermolysis The procedure was successful, strongly suggesting that a cure may have been found. A second transplant has also been performed on the child's older brother, and a third transplant is scheduled for a California baby.
