5. Poor wound healing

A slight knock in a healthy person will result in a bruise that will disappear in a few days or a cut that quickly heals. With Ehlers-Danlos Syndromet, it is a different story. A little bang leaves a disproportionate mark or wound that refuses to heal. If they need to get stitches for a more serious wound, they tear and leave a nasty scar. If the patient requires surgery, the fragility of their skin and absence of the regular healing process make procedures much more complex.
