Editing Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (section)

===Skin===
The weak connective tissue causes abnormal skin. This may present as stretchy or in other types simply be velvet soft. In all types, some increased fragility occurs, but the degree varies depending on the underlying subtype. The skin may tear and bruise easily, and may heal with abnormal atrophic scars;<ref name="mayoclinic"/> atrophic scars that look like cigarette paper are a sign seen including in those whose skin might appear otherwise normal.<ref name="NIHGHR2016"/><ref name="Byers2012"/><ref name = "Malfait_2018" /> In some subtypes, though not the hypermobile subtype, redundant skin folds occur, especially on the eyelids. Redundant skin folds are areas of excess skin lying in folds.<ref name="mayoclinic"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://morphopedics.wikidot.com/ehlers-danlos-syndrome|title=Ehlers Danlos Syndrome – Morphopedics|website=morphopedics.wikidot.com|access-date=2018-06-15}}</ref>
