A member asked:
Is it possible to have extra stretchy skin without having some serious underlying condition like ehlers-danlos syndrome or marfan syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: There certainly is a variation in what is considered normal for skin elasticity. Don't hesitate to be seen if there is a question. A biopsy can usually be pretty definitive if there'd is any question about the diagnosis.
