Scleroderma :
Scleroderma is a systemic autoimmune disease that causes the skin and the tissues of the connective system to become hard and stiff. Indeed, one of the deepest symptoms is the etymology of its name, "scleroderma," which refers to "hard skin." However, scleroderma may affect the interior organs and blood vessels and, therefore, entail many complications. Two forms are very well known like localized scleroderma which has a primary effect is on the skin, and systemic scleroderma, which delivers the possible effects within the lungs, heart, kidneys, and the digestive system. The cause of scleroderma is still unidentified, it is thought to be one or an accumulation of genetic and environmental factors that result in excessive collagen protein production, which is the framework for the structural structure of both skin and connective tissues. Its variety also comprises presentation of other symptoms, including tight or thick skin, Raynaud's phenomenon in which fingers and toes turn white or blue in cold temperature, arthritis, and difficulty swallowing.Treatment of scleroderma is non curative but management has largely been geared toward controlling symptoms and preventing complications of the disease. This would involve drugs that modulate the inflammatory process, improvement in blood flow even normalization of gastrointestinal function.
