Spray-on skin for burns victims, is reported in the Telegraph: "The spray-gun which fires stem cells on to the damaged skin has already been used successfully on a dozen patients."
I wonder if it would it work for steroid victims too? The skin of steroid victims, and also the skin of victims of other prescription-drug-induced morbid obesity, becomes very thin, painful and delicate. Sometimes, for instance, the skin at their elbows completely disappears and the elbow actually pokes through! - Just try to imagine how painful that would be - and how vulnerable to infection! - Especially as most doctors are disgracefully ill-informed about drug-induced morbid obesity.

Here is some more information about lymphoedema...
See http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour/02/2007_13_fri.shtml
"There are estimated to be a hundred thousand people living with lymphoedema in the UK. And the number is growing as more and more people survive cancer for longer but without a lymphatic system - which leaves them vulnerable to painful swelling and serious infection."
There is very little treatment for lymphoedema available on the NHS. - I myself am paying for lymphatic drainage massage once a week at the moment. Recommended therapies are exercise, manual lymph drainage and compression therapy. I found a private lymphoedema therapist in my area by searching on the internet.
