Gracias, Rosa Maria.
agree Juan Jacob : Totalmente de acuerdo. Es diferente a la celulitis. La apariencia "orange-peel" se aplica también en pintura, por ejemplo.

Gracias, Juan. En efecto, parece ser un fenomeno distinto del de la celulitis.
disagree neilmac : Sorry, but they mean cellulite.... nothing to do with painting

If you take the trouble to look at the references, you will see that this is the exact term that is used, and it is emphatically *not* cellulite. I didn't imply that the term had anything to do with painting so I find your comment bizarre.

No se si hay una palabra más específica para definir la piel de naranja. En cualquier caso se refiere a la celulitis
