SKIN DISORDERS, "Cutis Laxa"


Cutis Laxa is a rare skin disorder that causes the skin to be loose and saggy but not stretchy.

Although this disorder sounds like a problem that can can only affect a person outwardly, there are also medical problems associated internally with having Cutis Laxa. It can affect the heart, blood vessels, joints and lungs. It is not uncommon for a person who suffers from Cutis Laxis to have heart problems, abnormal bulging and tearing of arteries. Other problems may include the following:
  • Soft outpouching in the lower abdomen
  • Soft outpouching in the stomach area
  • Pouches possibly forming in the bladder and intestine
