EB (Epidermolysis Bullosa) is a very severe genetic disorder. It affects your skin. It means "the breakdown and blistering of the epidermis." It is characterized by much bleeding of the skin at the slightest contact. For this reason, people with this disorder are very sensitive to everything that touches them. The children that get this disease are known as Butterfly Children, because their skin is as sensitive as a butterfly's wings.
