these are a list of conditions that I joined togather because they have one thing in commen .. too much skin .. and below each condition a video related to the condition
Here's a list of this conditions with a small comment on each :
a) Harlequin type ichthyosis
is the most severe form of congenital ichthyosis, characterized by a thickening of the keratin layer in fetal human skin. In sufferers of the disease, the skin contains massive, diamond-shaped scales, and tends to have a reddish color. In addition, the eye , ears , penis , and the appendages may be abnormally contracted. The scaly keratin greatly limits the child's movement. Because of resultant cracked skin in locations where normal skin would fold, it is easily pregnable by bacteria and other contaminates, resulting in serious risk of fatal infection.

B) Ehlers–Danlos syndrome - Dermatosparaxis
very rare, with about 10 cases reported. The dermatosparaxis type is characterised by extremely fragile and sagging skin. The skin sags and wrinkles, and extra (redundant) folds of skin may be present as children get older. Joints are very loose, which can delay the development of motor skills such as sitting, standing, and walking. Infants with the condition are born with a hernia around the belly-button. Other symptoms include a small chin, a blue tinge to the sclera, and mild overgrowth of body hair.
