There are three basic forms of
EB:
EB
simplex is the most superficial type, with splitting of the
epidermis within the basal layer.
Junctional
EB has splitting within the lamina lucida, at the junction
of the epidermis and dermis.
Dystrophic
EB has a split within the dermis below the lamina densa. Because
of the dermal placement of the blister, lesions heal with scarring.
Upon injury, the simplex's wound
is not as deep and severe as the dystrophic's one, but it is more
easily obtained.
