mid dermal elastosis MDE

Hi, I am wondering if anyone out there has this condition. It’s very rare. From what I understand is your body breaks down elastin in your skin, leaving wrinkly patches. It’s often accompanied by granulare annular skin condition, which is more common. I’ve never met anyone else who’s had it, no treatment seems to help, doctors don’t have a clue. So would be great to hear if anyone else has it and tried any treatments.

Ella, sorry but haven’t heard of MDE either. I truly hope you can find someone who has heard of it and can help you. Good luck. Yellow-wellies x
