The word "scleroderma" literally means "hard skin," but the disease is often much more, affecting the internal organs with life-threatening consequences.The symptoms and severity of scleroderma, an autoimmune disease with no known cause or cure, vary greatly and the course of the disease is often unpredictable. Women between the ages of 20 and 50 represent 80% of patients; however, children and men of all ages are also affected.Videos
