About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to conduct a prospective assessment of the individual Burden of 9 rare skin diseases to assess disability in the broadest sense of the term (psychological, social, economic and physical) for patients and/or families.
Two types of indicators will be used to reach this objective :
1. an individual burden score calculated based on a burden questionnaire created specifically, approved and designed to understand the tendency to changes in care and lifestyles. The burden questionnaire should be used by patients and/or their family themselves in self-assessment. 2. a descriptive analysis of all resources (medical and non-medical) used by the family unit to manage the disease.

Primary outcomes
Individual burden score for each selected rare disease
Before 16 years old, we will focus on the burden of families. After 16 years old, the patient's parent will continue to answer to the family Burden questionnaire and the patient will start to answer to the adult's Burden questionnaire.
Secondary outcomes
Description of calculated scores based on widely used survey completed by patients
Description of calculated scores based on widely used survey completed by parents
Description of variations of quality-of-life scores.
Validation of the clinical severity score for disease which have none at the beginning of the study and description of clinical severity score.
