Scleroderma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Scleroderma is a rare disease in the autoimmune group, in which the body's defense system causes hardening and thickening of the skin and, at times, of other tissues.
How it presents: You may notice tight or hardened skin, color changes in the fingers with cold, and, depending on the type, involvement of internal tissues.
Its nature: Because it is a chronic and variable condition, its follow-up is usually personalized and long-term.
Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist is the main point of reference given their focus on autoimmune diseases, with support from the dermatologist for the skin manifestations and from the internist. If you notice persistent changes in the skin or joints, it is a good idea to mention it to a professional for a timely evaluation.
