    GlossarySkin Fragility

    condition where skin is unusually delicate and easily damaged

    Skin fragility refers to a condition where the skin is unusually delicate and prone to damage, such as tearing, blistering, or bruising, even with minimal trauma. This can be due to genetic disorders, aging, or underlying medical conditions that affect the structural integrity of the skin, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or certain types of epidermolysis bullosa. For professionals, understanding the underlying cause is crucial for managing and treating the condition effectively.
