(Medical-NewsWire.com, May 29, 2013 ) Boca Raton, FL --- This 21st Century Health feature story will focus on a topical therapy in development by Scioderm for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare genetic connective tissue condition that, in all of its forms, share the prominent manifestation of extremely fragile skin that blisters or tears with the slightest friction or trauma. This particular manifestation has led to EB patients being known as "Butterfly children" due to the analogous nature of the fragility of the skin to the wings of a butterfly. As of today there is no cure or effective treatment. Daily wound care, pain management and preventative bandaging are the only options available for caregivers, who are usually the parents or other family members. The more severe forms of the disease lead to scarring, disfigurement, disability and early death, usually before the age of 30.
JL Haber, Vice President of Programming at Multi Media Productions, added “As a leader in their industry, Scioderm was a natural fit for our show. We are excited to have them as a guest on our program.”
