概述

橘皮组织是一种很常见的无害皮肤状况,会导致大腿、臀部、屁股和腹部出现块状和小凹陷。该病最常见于女性。

许多人尝试通过减重、运动、按摩和使用可溶解橘皮组织的市售乳霜来改善皮肤外观,并取得了成功。也有经过医疗验证的治疗方案,不过无法立刻得到结果或是结果并不持久。

症状

橘皮组织看起来像凹陷或凸起的皮肤。有时被描述为松软干酪或橘皮纹理。

轻度橘皮组织只有在挤压橘皮组织区域皮肤时才能看见。较严重的橘皮组织会使皮肤看起来凹凸不平,并伴有峰谷区域。

橘皮组织最常见于大腿和臀部周围,但也可见于乳房、小腹和上臂。

何时就诊

不需要治疗。但是,如果您担心您的皮肤外观,可以向您的初级保健医生或皮肤病专家(皮肤科医生)或整形外科咨询治疗方案。

病因

关于橘皮组织的成因所知极少。它涉及将皮肤固定到下层肌肉的纤维状连接索,而脂肪会填充在其中间。当脂肪细胞聚集时,会向上突破皮肤,同时拉断柔韧的长连接索。这样就造成表面不平或浅凹。

此外,激素因素在橘皮组织的形成中扮演着重要角色,遗传学决定皮肤结构、肌理和体形。体重和肌肉张力之类的其他因素影响您体内是否有橘皮组织,即使非常健美的人也可能有。

风险因素

与男性相比,橘皮组织在女性中要普遍得多。实际上,大多数女性在青春期后会出现一些橘皮组织。这是因为女性脂肪一般分布在大腿、髋部和臀部等橘皮组织常发部位。随着年龄增长,当皮肤失去弹性时,橘皮组织也会更为常见。体重增长可能使橘皮组织更加明显,但一些瘦人也可能出现橘皮组织。它往往会在家族中遗传,因此遗传基因可能是您是否会出现橘皮组织的决定因素。缺乏运动的生活方式也会增加出现橘皮组织的几率,怀孕也是如此。
