    GlossaryScleroderma (skin hardening)

    chronic autoimmune disease causing skin and connective tissue hardening

    Scleroderma, also known as systemic sclerosis, is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues. It can affect not only the skin but also internal organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, and digestive tract, leading to a range of symptoms from mild to life-threatening. The exact cause is unknown, but it involves an overproduction of collagen, leading to fibrosis and vascular abnormalities.
