Scleroderma Symptoms, Types, and Available Treatment

Scleroderma is an uncommon but chronic autoimmune condition in which dense, thick fibrous tissue replaces healthy tissue. The immune system often aids in the body’s defense against illness and infection. The immune system causes other cells to overproduce collagen in scleroderma patients. The skin and organs get this additional collagen, which results in thickening and stiffening.
