Scleroderma <\/a>is actually a combination of several different skin conditions. When these all occur at the same time it can cause the skin to harden. Other tissues in the body may harden as well. The skin will feel almost like a hard shell when a person is suffering from scleroderma. If you have scleroderma you may have skin that is thickened, shiny, and stiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou may also experience swelling in the fingers or possibly in the toes. Hyper pigmentation is also often a symptom of this disease. Scleroderma can also cause a person to develop other symptoms as well. Since the skin disease can affect other tissues within the body, any tissue or organ can be affected by this disease. It is important to make sure that you get the symptoms of this disease treated as soon as possible as it can cause all sorts of issues within the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
