Thanks for posting your query.
You may be suffering from one of the problems
1. Pseudo xanthoma elasticum which needs to be confirmed by appropriate tests like skin biopsy
2. Could be due to ageing itself which could be treated with botax injection.
You may need to cosult a detmatologist to sort out the problem
I hope that you are clear with my answers.
