So, what is scleroderma symptoms? Well, many symptoms can be used to indicate the forming of scleroderma. However, the symptoms of the disease can be different from one patient to another, depending on the type of scleroderma. As for the early symptoms, people with scleroderma often experience changes to their skin, especially in the hands and fingers. Most of the time, the skin around the areas is tightening and hardened. It usually affects small areas of your body, mainly looks like straight lines or ovals. Scleroderma can also cover wider areas of your body. It even covers entire limbs and sometimes makes your skin look shiny. As scleroderma progresses, it might affect your joints. Scleroderma and joint pain are often linked to each other as the diseases go deeper. Some patients with scleroderma also report that their skins turn darker and affect larger areas. This causes them to have problems with their movement ability, making it more restricted. Scleroderma and Raynaud’s phenomenon is also common. This is a condition in which your pale fingers become tingle and numb when they are stressed or exposed to cold. The disease is also strongly associated with another syndrome. Scleroderma and Sjogren’s syndrome is another common case found on people with this skin disorder issue. Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune condition and 20% of patients with scleroderma are reported to have it. This is a condition in which the immune system attacks glands that leads to the secretion of fluids. Scleroderma and multiple sclerosis sometimes also occur. However, it seems to be rare to happen. Only a few cases about the two conditions are reported to be identified in people with scleroderma.
