'Cellulite' in DS 6Year old

[CoffeeTeaCoffee]

Hi everyone

DS 6 years old has what I can only describe as cellulite all over his chest and stomach.

Now cellulite I have no issue with, I have plenty myself, but just unsure if the change in his skins appearance is this or something else? Can children get cellulite?

He isn't overweight but has gained weight/grown over the past couple of months.

Guess I'm just worried that there may be a health aspect I'm missing?

Doesn't sound normal at all. I've never seen or known about cellulite in those areas. Especially worrying if he's not overweight. I think you should go to the GP just to be sure, but doesn't sound like something to panic about if it's come on gradually.

To clarify I mean be concerned but don't rush to a&e

Sounds like something else if on abdomen

Boys fat isn't the same structure as girls so they don't get cellulite in the same way

Hello coffee - did you ever find out what this was? I'm having the same issue with my 10-year-old DS. He's put on a bit of weight over lockdown - but has a very dimpled chest and tummy area - which I'm feeling anxious about! Any insight would be gratefully received!!
