Dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

A scarring form of EB causing blisters, milia, and atrophic scars, particularly on the extremities, but is generally less severe than the recessive form.

Dowling-Meara epidermolysis bullosa simplex

A severe form of EB simplex with widespread, arcuate or "herpetiform" clusters of blisters at birth, which improves with age but leaves hyperkeratosis.

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex

The most common form, where blisters form within the epidermis in response to friction, typically without scarring, often localized to hands and feet.

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex plakophilin deficiency

A variant of EB simplex with skin fragility, erosions, and a unique woolly hair texture.

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex superficialis

A mild form where blistering occurs at a very superficial level, causing peeling and erosions that heal without scarring, mimicking peeling skin syndrome.

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation

A variant characterized by non-scarring blistering and the development of reticulated, mottled hyper- and hypopigmentation on the trunk and neck.

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa Herlitz

A severe, often lethal form with widespread blistering and characteristic exuberant granulation tissue around the mouth, nose, and nails from birth.

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa inversa

A subtype of JEB where blistering predominantly affects intertriginous areas (axillae, groin) and the trunk, in an "inverse" pattern.

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa simplex non Herlitz

A milder form of junctional EB where patients survive into adulthood, with blistering, nail dystrophy, and atrophic alopecia.

Kindler syndrome

A unique EB subtype with blistering in infancy, followed by the development of progressive poikiloderma (atrophy, telangiectasias, pigment changes) and photosensitivity.

Lethal acantholytic epidermolysis bullosa simplex

A severe neonatal EB subtype with widespread erosions, complete hair loss, and nail shedding, associated with mutations in the BPAG1 gene.

Plakophilin deficiency epidermolysis bullosa simplex

A syndrome of skin fragility, woolly hair, and palmoplantar keratoderma, also known as ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome.

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

A severe, scarring form with widespread blistering, extensive scarring, fusion of the digits ("mitten deformities"), and a high risk of aggressive squamous cell carcinoma.

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa inversa

A subtype of RDEB where blistering and scarring are most severe in the groin, axillae, and neck, in an "inverse" pattern.

Weber-Cockayne epidermolysis bullosa simplex

A common and localized form of EB simplex where friction-induced blistering is confined primarily to the hands and feet.
