Scleroderma is a rare, chronic disease characterized by excessive deposits of collagen. Scleroderma affects the skin, and in more serious cases it can affect the blood vessels and internal organs. The most evident symptom is the hardening of the skin and associated scarring.
Hello,
I am 19 years old and the doctor just told me I tested positive for schleroderma this past Monday. I have no idea what to expect and I am really scared. I am hoping to live a normal life, I am only a sophomore in college and have so much I want to do. I could really use some answers, advice, and encouraging worlds as this has already taken a huge toll on my mental outlook. I want to have a more positive outlook on this so that I can move foward with it as I continue to see specilists and stuff. Thank you
