In patients with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), collagen does not form properly, so their skin is very fragile and blisters easily. Such patients are also at greatly increased risk of developing skin cancers. Filsuvez is a topical gel used to promote healing of skin lesions in patients with certain types of EB. In this observational study, patients with either dystrophic EB (DEB) or junctional EB (JEB) will receive standard of care treatment, whether Filsuvez or something else, and will be followed for up to 5 years. The main purpose is to see if the use of Filsuvez affects the likelihood of developing skin malignancies in these patient populations.
