I am twenty-five years old and two weeks ago I was diagnosed with scleroderma. I went to see a rheumatologist and he said my case wasn't very important.

Now I don't know what to do since I don't know a lot about the illness or what treatments there are.

I would also like to know how it will impact my life as I don't know how bad this is. Another thing that I don't know is how you determine the type. My skin has hardened on my leg. How fast does this evolve?

Thank you.
