A member asked:
Could somatropin help with loose skin caused by weight loss? is there a point to seek such treatment from an endocrinologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Because of tightening regulations in regards to growth hormone prescribing, you likely won't find an endocrinologist who will readily prescribe it for this indication.
