| What is Scleroderma? |
| Scleroderma is a rare, chronic autoimmune disease which afflicts an estimated 150,000 (1) to 500,000 (2) Americans, primarily females who are 30 to 50 years old at onset. The overall occurrence is 30 people per 100,000 and the ratio of women to men is about four to one. |

| Types of Scleroderma |
There are two main types of scleroderma, localized and systemic. The systemic forms can affect any part of the body (skin, blood vessels, and internal organs.) The systemic forms are also referred to as "systemic sclerosis" plus other terms such as diffuse, limited, CREST, and overlap. The localized forms are morphea and linear. They affect only the skin (and sometimes the underlying tissues) but do not affect the internal organs, or reduce one's life expectancy in any way. When any form of scleroderma (either localized or systemic) occurs in children, it is also called Childhood Scleroderma or Juvenile Scleroderma. See Types of Scleroderma page for further explanation. |

| Difficult Diagnosis |
| Proper diagnosis of scleroderma is often long and difficult, since it is a rare disease which few doctors are well-versed in, and in the early stages it may resemble many other connective tissue diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis, and rheumatoid arthritis, just to name a few. |
| Often the diagnostic uncertainty and frustration takes a huge toll on the psychological well-being of these patients, who describe their journey to diagnosis as being by far the most difficult part of their illness.(4) See Difficult Diagnosis. |

| Effects of Systemic Scleroderma |
| The systemic forms of scleroderma cause fibrosis (scar tissue) to be formed in the skin and/or internal organs. The fibrosis eventually causes the involved skin or organs to harden, which is why scleroderma is popularly known as the "disease that turns people into stone." |

| Scleroderma is Not Contagious or Cancerous |
| Scleroderma is not classified as contagious (1), which means that you cannot get scleroderma by shaking hands, hugging, kissing, sexual contact, contact with blood or bodily fluids, sharing eating utensils, or by airborne contact from coughing or sneezing. And it is not cancerous in any way.(1) |
