Overview

Scleroderma, a condition that translates to 'hard skin, ' is a challenge posed to the body's connective tissue, the architectural framework that binds and supports our joints, muscles, internal organs, and skin. The hallmark of this ailment is the thickening and toughening of the skin, with hands and face often bearing the brunt of this transformation. Picture connective tissue as the glue that holds our bodily elements together in harmonious unity. However, in the realm of scleroderma, this connective tissue becomes a bit too zealous, boasting an excess of collagen. The result?

Furthermore, females find themselves thrice as likely to be entangled in its intricate web. As the sun sets, leaving a canvas of over 5,000 Australians grappling with scleroderma, the challenge remains to decode its enigmatic strokes and foster understanding and support for those navigating this intricate tapestry of 'hard skin.'
