Is There Any Way to Tightening Lower Arm Skin?

The sagging skin is on the top of my arms from the wrist to the elbow. I weigh 128 pounds. This is a side effect from a medicine I took for Lupus. Can anyone help me?

I have the same situation. I'm an older woman, so I expect some sagging of skin. However, the sagging I'm experience on both upper and lower arms is what I might expect if I was close to 80 years of age. I'm asthmatic and have been taking a steroid inhaler for some years now and I think this is why I have horribly loose skin on my arms. I think the steroid destroyed my connective tissue and some muscle, leaving me with skin that looks like it's dripping off my arms. It's awful and I'm horrified and embarrassed and depressed and wear only long or 3/4 length sleeves, no matter how hot the weather. Is there any answer to this situation?
