Can Men Also Develop Cellulite?

When one think of cellulite one usually associates it with women. It is commonly one of those "stuff" that consitute a women's agenda over high tea sessions, and also forms one of the hot topics found in women's magazines which often paints an ugly & undesirable picture of it.

However, I have rarely, if never at all heard any man talking about cellulite! Does that imply that men never suffer from it? Or is it only a woman's problem?

Whilst it is more uncommon for men to get cellulite, it can and does happen. The main reason there are very few occurences in men, is because men's skin is generally thicker than women's.

Women tend to spot cellulite on their thigh, buttock, breasts and abdomen regions, while men tend to get it on their neck and abdomen areas.

Honestly, I for one am so-called "endowed" with cellulite...in my tummy or abdomen area!

Compared to women, men's fat is stored deeper into the skin & often distributed into different locations, which is another reason why they do not suffer from it as often.

Bye for now...
