Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a lifelong genetic skin disorder. It is characterized by extreme skin fragility resulting in chronic erosions and blisters. There are many types of EB with different associated complications. However, all types of EB have one thing in common, and that is their skin fragility resulting in chronic wounds and erosions. Wound care plays a crucial role in the care of these individuals. It becomes a part of their daily routines. Wound care has two goals, wound protection and wound healing. It is important to understand how a wound heals, what an infected wound looks like, and what products are available. The purpose of this publication was to educate about the wound-healing process, infection, what products are available, and how to utilize those products correctly. Good wound care practices can improve an individual's quality of life. The ultimate goal is to allow these individuals the opportunity to live as normal a life as possible. Remember, we are children only once, and we need to give these children the opportunity to live the life of a child.
