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

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.
