Cellulite - All women know what this is, right? Yet there is great disagreement and some controversy in the medical community as to what it is and whether or not it is actually a real thing, a real diagnosis! The WebMD website says that "its name makes it sound like a medical condition"! Well, this "non-medical" condition seriously affects and deeply troubles some 80- 90% of adult women! Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent each year trying to treat it. If all that doesn't qualify cellulite as a true condition worthy of respect and attention by our physicians then something's very wrong! Even so, there are many scary sounding "medical condition" names which have been applied to what we commonly call cellulite including adiposis edematosa, dermopanniculosis deformans, status protrusus cutis, and gynoid lipodystrophy. Common nicknames for cellulite include orange peel syndrome, cottage cheese skin, quilted mattress skin, and seat cushion skin.
Multiple "causes" have been implicated (including genetic) but we still don't really know for sure. Cellulite is rarely seen in men - is it a hormonally linked condition? Why does cellulite predominantly affect the abdomen, buttocks and thighs - why these areas? No one knows but it does suggest a hormonal mediated mechanism; reminiscent of stretch marks (striae atrophica) and their common areas of distribution - remarkably similar! Cellulite also seems to appear during hormonally active periods in women's lives - adolescence, pregnancy, and menopause.
