People Whose Genetics Make Them Unique

Butterfly Skin

Having a skin that blisters easily, that breaks with just a little pressure, sure I can call that butterfly skin syndrome. Scientifically it's called Epidermolysis bullosa, it is a rare genetic condition that makes skin so fragile that it can tear or blister at the slightest touch. Children born with it are often called “Butterfly Children” because their skin seems as fragile as a butterfly wing. The outcome is variable, but tends to be serious. The genetic disorder brings with it complications related to infections, nutrition and neoplastic complications.
