  • Child naevus

    Congenital or Child Naevus (moles) generally don't cause problems unless they show cancerous signs.Cure/medications include:Your child's doctor will need to check the mole over time to watch for any changes that may signal a future risk of skin cancer.On the other hand, if you worry about the mole's appearance or location, you can talk to your doctor about removal.Discussing with the d  Read More

  • De santis cacchione syndrome

    De Sanctis-Cacchione syndrome is an extremely rare genetic condition that affects the brain and nervous system development. It is distinguished by cognitive impairment, developmental delays, and skin abnormalities (Xeroderma pigmentosum). The syndrome is named after the Italian doctors who described it for the first time in the early twentieth century. Due to its extreme rarity, hardly 200 cases are reported, and it tends to a  Read More

  • E-d syndrome

    Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary connective tissue disorders characterized by defects of the major structural protein in the body (collagen). Collagen, a tough, fibrous protein, plays an essential role in holding together, strengthening, and providing elasticity to bodily cells and tissues. Due to defects of collagen, primary EDS symptoms and findings include abnormally flexible, loose joints (articular hypermobility) that  Read More

  • Epidermolysis bullosa

    Epidermolysis bullosa (ep-ih-dur-MOL-uh-sis buhl-LOE-sah) is a group of rare diseases that cause fragile, blistering skin. The blisters may appear in response to minor injury, even from heat, rubbing, scratching or adhesive tape. In severe cases, the blisters may occur inside the body, such as the lining of the mouth or the stomach. Most types of epidermolysis bullosa are inherited. The condition usual  Read More

  • Hallopeau-siemens disease

    A genetic skin condition called hallopeau-siemens disease or dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa causes blisters to grow. One of the more severe types is the Hallopeau-Siemens syndrome type.Due to the defect's location in the dermis at the dermo-epidermal junction, even little skin trauma results in profuse blister production that always heals with scars.Anchoring fibrils are either absent or inadequate due t  Read More

  • Non-scarring epidermolysis bullosa

    Non-scarring epidermolysis bullosa is a disease that results from mutations in KRT5 or KRT14 gene. These genes provide instructions for making a protein called keratin 5 and 14. There are two major types, and seventeen minor subtypes for this disease, all of which have common effects and symptoms.Among these, the four major subtypes of EBS are here:EBS-loc- in this, blisters are rarely present at birth and ma  Read More

  • Skin peeling syndrome

    A genetic disease caused due to mutations mainly caused due to mutation in the TGM5 gene is called Skin Peeling Syndrome.TGM5 enzymes act as a protective barrier for the outermost layer of the skinScarcity in the production of TGM5 enzyme give rise to the separate layer and peeling off.Light peeling or dryness is common in peopleIf it is happening continuously, it is a syndrome and needs  Read More

  • Urod deficiency

    UROD deficiency means a Lack of the enzyme uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD), which is a basic cause of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT).This is a type of porphyria in which affected individuals are sensitive to sunlight. PCT is caused by a deficiency of UROD enzymes in the liver.There are three types of PCT that can be classified as type-1, type-2, and type-3.To cure these conditions, sunlight a  Read More
