scleroderma
Scleroderma is a group of rare, chronic autoimmune diseases that involve the abnormal growth of connective tissue, which supports the skin and internal organs. This condition often leads to the hardening and tightening of the skin and can also affect blood vessels, internal organs, and the digestive tract. There are two major forms of Scleroderma: Localized and Systemic, both are currently incurable but can be managed with appropriate treatment. Symptoms and severity can vary, often worsening over time.
Webster Dictionary
Sclerodermanoun
