Spontaneous healing of the hereditary skin disease EB is not rare:
Spontaneous healing of the hereditary skin disease epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is more common than was generally thought. This conclusion is based on research of the department of Dermatology of the Universitary Medical Center Groningen, Netherlands, led by Prof. Marcel Jonkman. A publication appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine (April 16, 2009).
