The symptoms of scleroderma can vary widely depending on the type and severity of the disease, but they often begin with skin-related changes such as thickening, stiffness, or shiny patches. One of the earliest and most common symptoms is Raynaud’s phenomenon, where fingers or toes turn white or blue in response to cold or stress due to restricted blood flow. Other symptoms may include joint pain, digestive issues like acid reflux or difficulty swallowing, fatigue, and in more advanced cases, breathing difficulties or kidney involvement. In diffuse systemic sclerosis, the internal organs can be significantly affected, sometimes before skin symptoms appear. Since these signs can mimic other conditions, it's important to seek evaluation by a specialist familiar with autoimmune diseases. Recognizing the symptoms early and starting a tailored treatment plan can prevent irreversible damage and reduce flare-ups. Management typically involves medications to control immune activity, improve blood flow, and support organ function, along with physical therapy and regular monitoring.
