Comments

This 4-year-old boy with dermolytic epidermolysis bullosa was thriving and developing normally. He developed his first blisters on the hands and feet during the neonatal period, but a few subtle lesions on the lips never interfered with feeding. The nail dystrophy with scarring developed by his first birthday. Recurrent blisters occur primarily on the extremities with occasional lesions on the face and trunk. His parents managed fresh blisters with silver sulfadiazine cream and gauze dressings and rare secondary infections with topical mupirocin ointment.
