EB simplex



The blistering occurs right above the basement of the membrane. Approximately 70% of people with EB will have EB simplex.  Most types of EB Simplex are inherited, as a dominant trait. This means that one of the parents has the condition or it runs in the family. Having the condition in the family history there is a possibility of having a child with EB simplex. The most common form of EB Simplex just has blistering to their hands and feet. Patients usually do not seek medical assistance because it is so mild and it well known in the family, because it is a dominant inheritance. There is about five other types of EB Simplex. With the other types of EB simplex the blistering can occur all over the body.
