Localized Scleroderma Localized scleroderma usually affects only the skin on the hands and face. Its course is very slow and it rarely, if ever, becomes systemic see below ] or causes severe complications. There are two primary forms of localized scleroderma: morphea and linear scleroderma. Morphea Scleroderma. In morphea scleroderma patches of hard skin form and can persist for years. Eventually, however, they may improve or even disappear. There is less than a 1% chance that this disorder will progress to systemic scleroderma. Linear Scleroderma.

128. Scleroderma - FAQs From ArthritisCentral.com Frequently Asked Questions. scleroderma. Q. What is scleroderma? Q. How can I be sure that I have either systemic sclerosis or a limited form of scleroderma? http://arthritiscentral.com/html/faqscler.htm

Frequently Asked Questions Scleroderma Q. What is scleroderma? A. Scleroderma literally means hard skin. It is a multisystemic disorder not simply limited to the skin and may also involve the heart, lungs and kidneys. It is often associated with Raynaud's Phenomenon which is a color change in the extremities often secondary to exposure to cold, trauma or stress. Diffuse cutaneous forms of disease are referred to as systemic sclerosis. Limited cutaneous forms, overlapping syndromes, and localized forms are referred to as linear sclerosis or morphea. The limited cutaneous forms are also referred to as CREST syndrome and have a strong association with certain antibodies, such as the anticentromere antibody and overall has a better prognosis (see next question). Q. What is CREST syndrome? A. CREST syndrome is a limited form of scleroderma and literally CREST stands for Calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, Esophageal dysmotility (often given rise to heartburn symptoms and lower esophagitis), Sclerodactyly which refers to the sclerodermatous changes of the fingers, and Telangiectasias which are dilated venules, capillaries and arterioles involving the hands, face, lips or mouth. It is often associated with an anticentromere antibody and has a relatively good prognosis, but needs to be followed carefully for the development of pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary fibrosis. Patients with CREST syndrome can also have progressive Raynaud's Phenomenon even leading to auto?amputation of the digits. Another feature that is sometimes associated with CREST syndrome is the presence of biliary cirrhosis.
