Scleroderma: A Silent Threat with 10 Major Symptoms
5. Limited Scleroderma
Approximately half of all cases take a relatively mild and restricted form called limited scleroderma. Less thickening of the skin occurs than in the more severe versions of the disease. Thick skin usually only occurs on the face and hands. It may appear very slowly over several years. However, those with this condition may still suffer from narrowed blood vessels in the lung that cause shortness of breath.
