Fat collections: Cellulite is a collection of fat with fibrous tissues between the fat cells causing the appearance. Overeating, weight gain, and obesity are the causes. Men usually get it around the abdomen but can get it on the hip area. Diet and exercise is the best way to reduce it. It can also be from your genes .

Same as women...: Cellulite is nothing more than normal fat beneath the skin. The fat appears bumpy because it pushes against connective tissue, causing the skin above it to pucker. The amount of cellulite visible can be affected by: Poor diet, Fad dieting, Slow metabolism, Lack of physical activity, Hormone changes, Dehydration, Total body fat and the thickness and color of your skin

Unusual: As you probably know cellulite is abnormal fat which has fibrous tissue around it which in turn causes dimpling of the skin. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who treats this.
