What Causes Fat Deposition Around The Neck In Children?
My daughter 7 years old and does not have a weight problem, but since she was 4 or 5 she has has a ring of fat around her neck in the front. It is the very same from one side to the other. I have never seen this before and we have people to ask us about it. This has to be rare but it is not going away. Do you know what this could be?
