I have EBS localized that I inherited from my father. These study results are great news.
I've described walking on blisters like walking on coals or a bed of nails or broken glass. It's so much worse when they're in an area that cycles. I've had blisters last for three to four months in one area. I can still only imagine the pain that those with RDEB suffer from.
They call us all butterfly people, but my skin is tough as leather compared to theirs. And that's not even going into JEB.
