Epidermolysis bullosa, or EB, is the name for a group of rare inherited skin disorders that cause the skin to become very fragile. Any trauma or friction to the skin can cause painful blisters. EB is usually diagnosed at an early age, as the symptoms can be obvious from birth. But some milder types of EB may not be diagnosed until adulthood.
