Scleroderma is a rare disease that affects the skin and connective tissues in your body. Commonly seen in women between 30 to 50 years of age, scleroderma affects 75,000 to 1,00,000 individuals in the US. While there are several types of scleroderma, scleroderma affects the skin the most. This disorder develops when your body overproduces collagen, a protein that keeps your connective tissues and bones together. Scleroderma may leave you with tight and thick skin and may also damage other organs in your body. While there is no cure for this condition, your doctor may recommend treatment options that will help keep the symptoms under control. In this article, we delve deeper into the symptoms, causes of scleroderma, and the treatment options available. Keep reading to know more!

What Is Scleroderma?

Scleroderma refers to a range of autoimmune disorders that causes your skin and connective tissue to harden and tighten.

It is a chronic disease that tends to get worse as it progresses. Being an autoimmune disease, one of the markers of scleroderma is the presence of anti-nuclear antibodies, of which anti-topoisomerase antibodies, anti-RNA polymerase III antibodies, and anti-centromere antibodies are the most prominent ones, leading to immunological issues (1) .

Scleroderma is also referred to as crest syndrome and systemic sclerosis. It is considered to be a rheumatic disease.

protip_icon Did You Know?
Localized Scleroderma affects mostly women, with an incidence of 3 cases per 1,00,000 people/year (1).

Scleroderma occurs due to a problem with the immune system that causes increased collagen production. Collagen is a protein that holds the bones, muscles, tendons, and your skin together. Overproduction of collagen causes your tissues to scar and thicken. Scleroderma may be mild to potentially fatal in its severity.

Scleroderma is mainly classified into two types:

  • Localized scleroderma
  • Systemic scleroderma

Listed below are the scleroderma types along with the symptoms that surface with each type.

Symptoms And Types Of Scleroderma‎

  • Localized Scleroderma

Localized scleroderma mainly affects the skin, although it may also impact your muscles and bones.

It is the mildest form of scleroderma and does not affect the internal organs. It is further divided into two types – morphea and linear scleroderma.

The symptoms of morphea scleroderma include light or dark patches on your skin that are oval-shaped.

Those with linear scleroderma may develop bands or streaks of hardened skin on the limbs. It usually affects the bones and muscles, causing joint pain.

  • Systemic Scleroderma

Systemic scleroderma affects the entire body, including your blood and internal organs like your kidneys, esophagus, lungs, and heart. It is associated with fibrosis in multiple organs. Its two main types are limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis syndrome (CREST) and diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. They are also known as limited scleroderma and diffuse scleroderma. Limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis syndrome (CREST) is the least severe type of the disease. It usually affects the skin on your hands, face, feet, and lower arms and legs. It is also termed CREST syndrome because its symptoms form the acronym, CREST, which stands for:

C – Calcinosis (formation of calcium deposits in tissues and under the skin)

R – Raynaud’s disease

E – Esophageal diseases like GERD

S – Sclerodactyly (formation of thick skin on the fingers)

T – Telangiectasia (enlargement of blood vessels that manifests as red spots)

Diffuse systemic sclerosis is characterized by the thickening of the skin of your hands up to your wrists. This can also affect your internal organs. Affected individuals often experience symptoms of weakness, fatigue, weight loss, and difficulty in breathing and swallowing.

Overall, the symptoms of scleroderma include:

  • Stiffness, tightness, and puffiness of your fingers and hands due to emotional stress or sensitivity to cold
  • Swelling in the feet
  • Calcium deposition
  • Narrowing of blood vessels in the hands and feet (Raynaud’s disease), which may cause digital ulcers.
  • Problems with the esophagus
  • Thickening of the skin on the fingers
  • Formation of red spots on the face and hands

A study conducted on 1021 patients found that 7.6% had progressive skin fibrosis with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. Also, more than 10% had a higher risk of experiencing a decline in lung function and dying from any cause compared to those without progressive skin fibrosis.

The exact cause of this condition is yet to be determined. But, since it is an autoimmune disease, problems with the functioning of your immune system could be the main cause. Other factors that can cause scleroderma or increase its risk are listed below.

Causes And Risk Factors

Diabetes is a rsk factor for scleroderma.

One of the main causes of scleroderma is believed to be the overproduction of collagen – a protein that forms the building block of connective tissues. This may lead to the thickening and subsequent scarring of the affected tissues.

Another factor that could be responsible for the development of scleroderma is genes. However, this isn’t confirmed yet.

A family history of autoimmune diseases is often traced in individuals with scleroderma, making it another factor that could be contributing to the development of the condition.

Other factors that can increase your risk of getting scleroderma are:

  • Age – Those between 30 and 50 years of age are more likely to develop scleroderma.
  • Gender – This disease is more common in women.
  • Medical conditions like diabetes increase your risk of developing scleroderma.
  • Exposure to environmental factors like silica dust and certain chemicals like vinyl chloride.
  • Medications like carbidopa and bleomycin also increase your risk.
protip_icon Quick Tip
Scleroderma may cause functional disabilities mainly in hands and oral openings, which may alter the intake of foods.

Scleroderma may also cause certain complications. Learn more about them below.

Complications Associated With Scleroderma

Scleroderma may lead to various complications like (2):

  • Skin Issues: Thickening and tightening of the skin that often leads to limited mobility, ulcers, and difficulty in performing everyday tasks.
  • Raynaud’s Phenomenon: Persistent spasms in small blood vessels, particularly in the fingers and toes, causing reduced blood flow, pain, and color changes.
  • Digestive Problems: Esophageal dysfunction, acid reflux, and difficulty swallowing due to fibrosis in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Lung Issues: Pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, and breathing difficulties due to lung tissue scarring.
  • Kidney Complications: High blood pressure, kidney damage, and renal crisis may lead to kidney failure.
  • Heart Issues: Inflammation of the heart lining that may lead to pericarditis and an increased risk of heart disease.
  • Joint And Muscle Pain: Joint inflammation and muscle weakness, reducing overall mobility and causing discomfort.

Scleroderma is quite difficult to diagnose as it surfaces gradually and in different forms. Hence, your doctor may carry out the following tests to diagnose it.

Diagnosis

Your physician may carry out a physical examination along with some other tests to diagnose scleroderma. Such tests include:

  • Observing the skin under a microscope to look for any changes
  • Biopsy
  • Blood tests to assess the levels of different antibodies in it

Your doctor may also look for signs of skin thickening, shortness of breath, GERD, and calcium deposition before diagnosing your condition.

Once you have been positively diagnosed with scleroderma, your doctor may suggest any of the treatments listed below.

Treatment Methods

Medical treatments for scleroderma include:

  • Blood pressure medications to dilate your blood vessels and help treat Raynaud’s phenomenon or disease that surfaces from scleroderma
  • Immunosuppressants to suppress your immune system activities
  • Physical therapy to manage symptoms of pain and improve your mobility and strength
  • Laser surgery and/or ultraviolet light therapy to improve the appearance and condition of your skin

Researchers are on the lookout for more treatments to treat scleroderma.

Victoria Pendragon, a lifestyle blogger with a history of scleroderma, discusses the stigma surrounding her condition, her personal experiences, and its impact on her life in a post. She says, “Scleroderma is, to this day, a slow and painful death sentence. There is no known cure, though there have been clinical trials; I was part of one… but I was the only person that had been cured by the very complex procedure (extra corporal photopheresis). Only my hands remain as they were (i).”

Scleroderma, a rare progressive autoimmune disorder, is characterized by the overproduction of collagen that leads to tightening and hardening of the skin and possible organ damage. It is a connective tissue disease and can be either localized or systematic and, based on that, may have varying symptoms. The most common signs of localized scleroderma, a comparatively milder form of the disorder, are dark or light-colored patches or bands of hardened skin. Systemic scleroderma presents symptoms such as swelling, red spots, thickened fingers, and stiffness. Vitamin D, essential oils, gram flour, fish oil, lemon, and turmeric are some of the natural treatments for this condition. In addition to these, medical treatment methods may be needed for some types of scleroderma. It is important to seek emotional and mental support whenever needed and follow the treatment methods prescribed by your healthcare provider.
