Scleroderma is a chronic and progressive autoimmune disease that involves the skin; though, in serious cases other organs may be involved. Scleroderma affects both genders; however, females are more likely to be affected by the disease. There are two types of scleroderma, generalized scleroderma and localized scleroderma. Generalized scleroderma is a systemic disease that is progressive and may be fatal, while localized scleroderma is usually not fatal and has less organ involvement. Symptoms of scleroderma may include scarring and hardening of the skin, reddish coloration, or a crusty, flaky appearance to the skin. Additionally, many individuals with scleroderma have a condition known as Raynaud’s, that may lead to painful ulcers on the toes and fingers. Scleroderma has no cure. Generally, treatment for scleroderma will include medications that reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and suppress the immune system.
