* Positive expression of the non-collagenous region 1 of the type 7 collagen protein (NC1+) in the skin;
* Two confirmed RDEB C7 mutations with recessive inheritance patterns (or confirmation that parents don't have any evidence of dominant disease);
* At least 40 cm2 areas of chronically wounded area on the trunk and/or extremities suitable for EB-101 application (open erosions);
* Able to undergo adequate anesthesia during EB-101 application;
* Must have at least two matched, eligible wound sites (one pair);

* Wound sites must:

* Have an area ≥20 cm2,
* Present for ≥6 months, and
* Stage 2 wound;
* Women of childbearing potential must use a reliable birth control method throughout the duration of the study and for 6 months post treatment;
* Negative pregnancy test;
* Must be on stable pain medication regimen at least 30 days prior to Screening

Exclusion Criteria:

* Medical instability limiting ability to travel to the study site;
* The presence of medical illness expected to complicate participation and/or compromise the safety of this technique, such as active infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B or hepatitis C;
* Evidence of immune response to C7 by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF);
* Evidence of systemic infection;
* Current evidence or a history of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the area that will undergo EB-101 application;
* Active drug or alcohol addiction;
* Hypersensitivity to vancomycin or amikacin;
* Receipt of chemical or biological study product for the specific treatment of RDEB in the past 3 months;
* Positive pregnancy test or breast-feeding;
* Clinically significant medical or laboratory abnormalities as determined by the Principal Investigator;
* Inability to properly follow protocol and protect keratinocyte sheet sites, as determined by the Principal Investigator;
* Grade 3 clinical event or laboratory abnormality at Day 0. Abnormalities such as esophageal strictures, anemia, low albumin, and pain/itch are expected in RDEB patients. These abnormalities will not exclude a participant; and
* Inability to culture participant's keratinocytes.
