Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare inherited skin disease that is characterized by the development of blisters following minimal pressure to the skin. Blistering often appears in infancy in response to simply being held or handled. In rarer forms of the disorder, EB can be life-threatening. There is no cure for the disorder. Treatment focuses on preventing and treating wounds and infection. Until 2011, nobody knew that there are persons with such a disease in Moldova. “Debra Moldova” has 23 members who all suffer form EB.
