Epidermolysis Bullosa Foot Care

Skin affected by EB is prone to blistering and scarring in areas exposed to repeated pressure or friction, like the feet.

The toenails can also be affected. There are certain methods that can limit the creation of blisters, and the pain and discomfort they bring as well as treatments to manage dystrophic nails and hyperkeratosis.
