A question about scleroderma?

i have scleroderma en coup de sabre. Now a new spot is appearing just below my mouth.. anyone here have the same experience? Is it normal for it to appear somewhere else too?

of course you cant see it on my avatar!

Sounds like we have the same problem. I used to have sclerosis for many years too. Spots appeared more than just below my mouth. My neck and thighs had it too. I reached a point where i did not want to go out and let anyone see me. Even after going to the doctors, i was just given anti inflammatory cream and told there was nothing much I could have done additionally. However, to my good fortune, my cousin passed on some cocktail of fruits and vegetables to me and my skin condition started to improve after 2 weeks of ingesting it. Since then, I have been religiously taking it everyday and to my delight, my skin problem have since improved.

In time, the skin of your face will harden to become "leather face". Good side effect is you will not see anymore wrinkles!! But your lips will wrinkle as if you are angry at someone. Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease linked-arthritis, so watch for pain in fingers. Avoid red meat, eat a lot of vegies and avoid grape fruits.
