Abstract: | Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is an uncommon and severe disorder characterised by trauma-induced blisters, intractable skin ulcers, scarring, milia, and nail dystrophy. We report the good result of both surgical release of fingers allowing spontaneous epithelisation without skin grafting and post-operative meticulous skin care without splinting, followed-up for one year. |
