What Causes Indentations On The Skin That Causes A Type Of Lypodystropy?
i was diagnosed with a rare disease that causes a type of lypodystropy but now forget the name of it. My daughter is now experiencing health problems ad her doctor asked for the name of the diseae i have. The disease causes indentations on the skin. It looks like areas have caved in on different parts of my body. This was diagnosed by 2 dematologists and both said it was rare but each had seen it before. Would you know the name of the disease so I can tell my daughter?
