Talk to Dermatologist on Skin Disease
Asking for Other, Female, 25 years old, Bannu
I am asking on behalf of someone. She had a baby 2 weeks old via c section. After 4 days of birth her son got some blister on skin. He was given injections. It was resolved for some days. Then again her son got the same blisters in his arm thighs and head. They went to a skin specialist. He only looked at blister and said it is "epidermolysis bullosa" And told them that it has no cure. The doctor didn't perform any test so they don't have any prescription. Due to facbook new policy i can't post picture of blisters here. Now their questions are: 1: What is the treatment of this disease? 2: Do they need to visit a child specialist or skin? 3: is the disease curable? Any waring signs? Or the baby will be ok with treatment? Please answer to their questions they are very poor and helpless. Thanks.

there are many skin diseases which cause blisters can be due to bacterial infection and some other are genetic blistering diseases,and need proper workup to rule out the exact cause,its better to visit skin specialist or book online video consultation via marham so that i full counsel the parents https://www.marham.pk/online-consultation/dermatologist/multan/dr-alina-abid-19344
It doesnt require any test to diagnose eb!! Its more like a clinical diagnosis!! Genetic testings are done but not available in Pakistan!! Also if its a cousin marriage chances are likely high! Theres nothing could be done to cure! Baby has to be on regular follow ups!! You can ask the pt to book an online consultation or visit clinic for consultation regarding management
Like other Drs have said it does not require a test to Diagnose this. its called Epidermolysis Bullosa. You can consult an NGO called Debra Pakistan which provides guidance on how to look after children. you can also consult Any Children Hospital in your city
