Weber-Christian Disease is a rare panniculitis-type of disease known for targeting females aged 30 to 60 years old. It affects the skin of the patient by inflammation of the fatty tissues inside one’s body. It can commonly be found on the legs and thighs of females, due to having more fat in those areas of the body.
However, other areas in the body can be affected as well, and this disease can also be contracted by males but rarely. It can also be contracted by infants and by both genders, but these are also quite rare.
Sadly, treatment for this disease is hard and leaves scarring on the affected area of an affected patient. Furthermore, studies show that the cause of this disease has not yet been identified.
