Is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Linked With Body Hair Loss?

Is there any connection to ehlers danlos syndrome and complete body hair loss? It has been suggested that I have this condition. I am also losing ALL my body hair. Slowly, but surely going bald on my legs, privates, head, etc. My mom has the same problem, but is more advanced than me. I am 39 year old female.

Hi,

Ellerslie Danlos syndrome is a connective tissue disorder and so it can lead to very thin, weak hairs with less growth of hairs.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
