National Scleroderma Foundation Florida-Puerto Rico Scleroderma Foundation Florida & Puerto Rico Scleroderma occurs three to four times more often in women than in men.

Scleroderma is a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis, in which the body's immune system attacks it's own tissues. The disease, which literally means "hardskin", can cause thickening and tightening of skin as well as serious damage to a number of internal organs including the lungs, heart, kidneys, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. For some individuals the disease has serious impact on daily life. Although medications can sometimes help, there is no cure yet.
