Pathologies
Scleroderma
Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by thickening and hardening of the skin, as well as internal organ involvement due to excessive collagen accumulation.
Symptoms:
- Thickening and tightening of the skin (especially on fingers and face);
- Raynaud’s phenomenon (color changes in fingers);
- Digestive issues (heartburn, difficulty swallowing);
- Lung or heart involvement in severe cases.
Treatment:
- Medications to control symptoms (vasodilators, immunosuppressants);
- Physiotherapy to maintain mobility;
- Close monitoring to prevent organ complications.
A personalized treatment plan and regular monitoring can help manage the disease and improve patients’ quality of life.
