Classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (cEDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder that causes joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility (stretchy skin), and skin fragility. People with cEDS have fragile skin that is very easily and extensively damaged. Minor trauma can cause large wounds that result in atrophic scarring from a young age in people with cEDS.
