EDS - loose skin on upper thighs. What do I do?

JunglepeachMay 7, 2016
Despite being very thin for my stature, i have an incredibly large amount of loose skin on my upper thighs. I am unable to get rid of it no matter the diets and regular exercise.During a consultation I was told there was no fat, just loose skin on my upper thighs. Could this be because I have eds? Is there any way I can get rid of this skin?my legs are thin other than that and it looks extremely unnatural and I am very conscious of it.
