Epidermolysis bullosa comprises a heterogeneous group of bullous diseases of the skin and the mucosas that are of congenital or hereditary origin. Making the diagnosis is not difficult if one has dermatological experience, but its classification is complex and for it, it is necessary to consider the clinic, genetics, microscopy and lab evaluation. The treatment of this disease is also difficult and certain measures are required to protect the patient and to prevent the appearance of lesions and complications derived from them. It is described the treatment of these lesions in a newborn infant who was administered prophylactic antibiotics, and whose lesions were bandaged. All the care and recommendations to specially avoid the friction and pressures on these lesions and the high temperatures were explained.
