San Antonio Scleroderma Support Group

San Antonio Scleroderma Support Group Support Groups provide a forum to share feelings, concerns, information, and as well as a place to offer peer support and encouragement.

The word “scleroderma” comes from two Greek words: “sclero” meaning hard, and “derma” meaning skin. Hardening of the skin is one of the most visible manifestations of the disease. The disease has been called “progressive systemic sclerosis,” but the use of th

at term has been discouraged since it has been found that scleroderma is not necessarily progressive. The disease varies from patient-to-patient
