Scleroderma is a rare but chronic condition that is characterized by the hardening of skin and connective tissues – it literally means hard skin. It belongs to a group of arthritic conditions known as connective tissue diseases in which an individual’s antibodies are directed against his or her own tissues. There are two types of scleroderma – localized and systemic scleroderma. Localized scleroderma usually begins with dry patches of skin on the hands or face which progressively becomes thicker and harder.
