May be: Ehlers-danlos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders that affect your connective tissues primarily your skin, joints and blood vessel walls. Connective tissue is a complex mixture of proteins and other substances that provides strength and elasticity to the underlying structures in your body. People who have ehlers-danlos syndrome usually have overly flexible joints and stretchy, fragile skin.
