There are approximately 200 babies born in the United States with EB each year. The New Family Advocate Program’s goal is to provide a full support system to the parents and caregivers of each and every one of these children.
Among these web pages you will find information and resources to help navigate caring for a newborn with EB, including How-To’s on wound care, bathing and prevention of blisters, where to find medical supplies, medical coverage rights and a host of other topics to give your baby the best care possible.
Sadly, there is no cure today, but debra of America is here to help you manage the symptoms of EB as effectively as possible to best manage EB. We are always here to help.
