Any other Zebras have issues with your skin tearing? My husband looked horrified when I asked him if he could relate to the pain of it. Now I’m wondering if that’s just an EDS thing.

Yes, the adhesives from tape or bandaids will tear my skin off with it causing me to bleed more than in the first place. Welly brand ones don’t do that very often though.

Yeah I’ve had stretch marks on my arms, thighs, calves, and hips since teenage years. Wasn’t weight related bc I was very petite so we didn’t know why it was happening. But now I just understand it’s part of EDS. I also can’t hold a stitch so when I had to have a bone graft in my jaw I couldn’t hold the stitch. Stitches started coming out first day and had to redo the bone graft.

I get scarring and wounds from anything. I got a gash on my leg that ended up getting inflamed but it was just from a spider bite

I once got a gash in my leg from a plastic bendy straw
Yeah one time I jumped into a lazy River and the concrete on the bottom ripped the corner of my big toe clean off 😬
Yes my skin is so sensitive!! Everything rips and tears it
