I have "panniculitis" does anyone know causes & how i can treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cause unknown.: This is inflammation of mesenteric fat; and the cause is not known. It may be recurrent. Treatment is mostly symptomatic, i.e. steroids, etc. Rarely one may need surgery to remove the scarred tissue that may cause bowel obstruction.
