Scleroderma

SCLERODERMA, TYPES, CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

  • Scleroderma is also called as systemic sclerosis. It is a chronic autoimmune disease in which there is hardening and tightening of the skin.
  • It is a rare disease in which the normal tissue is replaced with thick tissue due to extra collagen.
  • Scleroderma can also affect other parts of the body like lungs, heart, gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, muscles and joints.
  • Normally, the immune system of the body helps in protection against disease and infection. However, sclerodermic patients’ immune system triggers excessive production of an elastic protein called collagen. This protein provides elasticity to the skin but when produced in excess, it causes hardening and thickening of the concerned tissue.
  • Scleroderma also can affect many other parts of the body including the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, muscles and joints. Scleroderma in its most severe forms can be life-threatening.

TYPES OF SCLERODERMA

There are two major types of scleroderma:

  • Localized scleroderma
  • Systemic scleroderma

 

LOCALIZED SCLERODERMA 

  • It mainly affects the skin and only at a few places.
  • It appears in the form of waxy patches or streaks present on the skin.
  • When present in the form of round patches, it is called morphea. The patches are first red or purple in color and then turn white in the center.
  • When thickened lines or streaks are present on the arms, legs or face, it is called linear scleroderma

SYSTEMIC SCLERODERMA

  • It is also known as Generalized Scleroderma. It affects many parts or systems of the body.
  • Systemic Scleroderma is further of 2 types :
  • Limited scleroderma
  • It slowly affects the skin of face, hands and feet.
  • It affects many internal organs like lungs, intestine, oesophagus
  • It is also known as CREST syndrome as it has 5 common signs:
  • Cfor Calcinosis – abnormal calcium deposition in the skin.
  • Rfor Raynaud’s phenomenon – less blood flow to parts of the body such as fingers, toes or nose. Body parts may turn blue.
  • Efor Esophageal immotility – difficulty in swallowing
  • Sfor Sclerodactyly – skin thickening, causes problems in movement of fingers or toes
  • Tfor Telangectasias –  small blood vessels grow near the surface thus making red spots on the skin
  • Diffused scleroderma
  • It spreads rapidly. It mostly affects the middle part of the body, upper arms, hands and feet.
  • Heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract and kidneys get affected.

CAUSES

  • The exact cause of scleroderma is unknown. It is a rare autoimmune disease in which immune system starts attacking the body’s own cells causing inflammation of the area.
  • It is caused by an overproduction and accumulation of collagen protein in body tissues. Collagen is an elastic and fibrous protein that makes up connective tissues of the body. However the cause of this overproduction by immune system is not exactly known.
  • It also runs in families. It is thus caused by a combination of environmental, genetic and immune system problems.

RISK FACTORS

It mostly affects women and people above the age of 35 years. However, there are certain risk factors which make the person more prone to scleroderma:

  • Genetics: People having certain genetic variations are more likely to have scleroderma. So it is seen in some families over the generations.
