Why does my skin indent easily there are also marks that look like stretch marks?
The skin indents and stretches (deforms) easily because of a lack of a protein made within the body called elastin. Elastin is responsible for returning the skin to its original shape after it has been deformed (i.e. stretched, pulled, pinched, etc.) The lack of elastin production within one area of skin (or over the whole body in elderly people) means that the body is producing less elastin in that area (or altogether in elderly people). The best way to determine what may be the most specific cause of permanent skin deformation is to consult a doctor.
