The origin of this strange condition that occurs in three out of every 100,000 people is unknown. However, it has been identified that an immune system dysfunction, which defends the body from infections and foreign agents to the body, is one of the direct culprits. Similarly, genetic predisposition and environmental issues have been identified as possible causes. Anyone can suffer from it, although its incidence is higher in women between 30 and 55 years old. Scleroderma is classified into: Focused: there is only skin damage, being able to spread to the bone, muscle, and joint system. Generalized: in addition to the skin, it attacks various organs internally. Without scleroderma: so named because the damage occurs only to the internal organs, not the skin. Scleroderma can arise simultaneously with other pathologies. Its evolution depends on each person, but alterations generally occur at three different levels: Vascular involvement: the blood vessels become thinner and stiffer. Inflammatory changes: the tissues and organs of the body harden due to the increased production of collagen. Autoimmune problems: reactions of the immune system.https://centromedicoabc.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/share-imagen-centro-medico-abc.png779406
