Classic EDS skin?

Does the is look more like Classic EDS skin? These photos are of my dad who has no current diagnosis.

I’m currently in the process of getting a diagnosis ( appointments with rheumatologist, gynaecologist and hopefully an approved referral to a geneticist )

I have similar scaring to my dad, spots of no hair growth on my legs and permanently dry skin no matter how much I moisturize.

Just wanted to make a post so I could hear from the with classic like, classic and hypermobile because I find researching the difference a bit confusing and overwhelming.

I don’t know if it’s wrong for me to say this but I’m hoping it’s a type that shows up on a genetic test just so I can finally get some answers

Edit to add:
Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment!

I’m very lucky my current doctor hasn’t dismissed any of my concerns and is trying her best to find the right specialist to get a diagnosis

But it’s still nice to have some validation after years of feeling like it’s all in my head. So thank you!
