As the EB Nurse web site states:
"Circumcision is frequently an area of concern for families when their son has an EB diagnosis.
If the parents were planning to have their son circumcised, the fact that he has EB should not change the decision. The NEBR (National EB Registry) data suggests that,
within the study population, circumcision was preformed within all subtypes of EB and none of these study participants reported excessively poor or delayed healing."

Personal experience: we had Joey circumcised when he was 2 days old and he had no problems with the procedure or any complications afterward and healed with a normal amount of time compared to babies without EB.
