&lt;p&gt;Sorry for the slow reply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unusual one - I&amp;#39;m not sure I have anything particularly useful to add. It might be worth chatting with a dermatologist about this as they probably see the Ehlers-Danlos cases. From what you describe some kind of collagen disorder of that nature does sound plausible. I would think you could show that on a skin biopsy but not sure there is anything you can do about it even if diagnosed!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interesting cases though!&lt;/p&gt;
