Overview
The hallmark of scleroderma is sclerodactyly. A positive history of progressive skin tightening and hardening is suggestive of scleroderma. The most common symptoms of scleroderma include skin tightening or induration, Raynaud's phenomenon and symptoms of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Less common symptoms of scleroderma include shiny skin appearance and restricted movement of affected areas of the skin.
History and Symptoms
The hallmark of scleroderma is sclerodactyly. A positive history of progressive skin tightening and hardening is suggestive of scleroderma. The most common symptoms of scleroderma include skin tightening or induration, Raynaud's phenomenon and symptoms of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).[1]
History
Patients with scleroderma may have a positive history of:
- Progressive skin tightening or hardening
- Skin induration affecting fingers and extending proximally (sclerodactyly)
- Exaggerated response to cold temperatures or emotional stress causing numbness, pain or color changes in fingers or toes (Raynaud's Phenomenon)
- Swallowing difficulty[1]
- Bloating
- Flatulence
- Altered bowel movements
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Weight loss
- Musculoskeletal pain
Common Symptoms
Common symptoms of scleroderma include:
- Skin tightening and induration (hardening)
- Exaggerated response to cold temperatures or emotional stress causing numbness, pain or color changes in fingers or toes (Raynaud's Phenomenon)
- Non-productive cough
- Chest tightness
- Chest pain
- Joint pain
Less Common Symptoms
Less common symptoms of scleroderma include:
