Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) comprises a heterogeneous group of inherited mechanobullous disorders characterised by skin fragility and blister formation following minimal trauma [1–3]. We report a female neonate presenting with localised blistering on the dorsum of the right foot and over the heel, ultimately diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS). Early multidisciplinary involvement, meticulous wound care, and parental counselling were central to management [8, 9]. This case…

Methods: Our scoping review protocol was registered on Open Science Framework. Two independent reviewers completed a systematic review of the literature in Web of Science,…
