Type	Onset	Clinical features
EBS	At birth or early infancy	Blisters develop all over the body but commonly on hands, feet, and extremities (frictional areas)
JEB	At birth	Generalised and severe form, where blisters appear all over the body and often involve mucous membranes and internal organs
DEB	At birth or early childhood	Generalised severe blistering is more common and involves large areas of skin and mucous membranes.
		Can be localised in frictional areas

EBS: epidermolysis bullosa simplex, JEB: junctional epidermolysis bullosa, DEB: dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.
