For some children, everyday moments aren’t just routine — they’re a risk. Simple acts like a comforting hug from mom, getting dressed for school or going down a slide at the park can cause real harm.

That’s the reality for those living with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare condition where even the slightest friction can cause blisters and open wounds. The condition weakens the connection between layers of the skin, leaving it unable to perform its most important role: protecting the body.

Children are often wrapped in bandages to protect fragile skin and cover wounds that are painful, slow to heal and prone to infection. Over time, repeated damage and inflammation can lead to serious complications, including skin cancer.
