I know that skin is typically thin, stretchy, bruise prone in EDS, more so on classicl EDS, I just wondered does anyone get ‘petechiae’ or small dot type haemorrhages? If so what is the distribution? Just read you can get them in EDS, though it doesn’t say which type. I wondered if it was type IV. Not sure why EDS would make you prone except for more fragile skin and it more likely for capillaries to be damaged. Be interested to hear what people think…
Thank you

I have these, only on my thighs, they have been mentioned before in the forum, see the thread below for more info:-

All I know is, when I upped my Vit C, they seemed to reduce somewhat.
