Cellulite is pain-free condition that only affects how skin looks and feels. It’s characterized by dimpled or bumpy skin, which is often described as having the texture of cottage cheese or oatmeal. Mild cases of cellulite may only be visible if you pinch your skin in that specific area. More severe cases are visually present whether the skin is being touched or is at rest, making the skin constantly appear bumpy. Cellulite is most common around the thighs, hips, butt, stomach, and breasts although it can form anywhere where there is an accumulation of fat cells.
