Homoeopathic treatment is always safe and harmless and it is recommended in case of epidermolysis bullosa because the medicine is administered on the basis of characteristic individuality and constitution after a complete case taking.
Epidermolysis bullosa is generally inherited.
The disease gene may pass on from one parent who has the disease or it may be passed on from both the parents.
Sulphur, syphilinum, psorinum, sepia, ranunculus, nat mur, petroleum, hepar sulph are well indicated homoeopathic remedies. But an appropriate homoeopathic remedy should be administered to the patient after a detailed history taking and case understanding.
