Introduction Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare disorder with frequent blistering at trauma prone sites. Case report We report a case of 10 days old female infant presenting with flaccid yellow colored fluid filled blisters over the extremities. On histopathological examination, a diagnosis of epidermolysis simplex was made. After treatment with appropriate antibiotic, the infant was discharged in satisfactory condition. Discussion The treatment options include optimal wound care and prevention of trauma. Newer therapies like gene therapy are in the pipeline,but still have a long way to go before some specific treatment can be advocated.
