TYPES OF SCLERODERMA :

It is broadly classified under two major types: localized scleroderma, where the principal organs involved are the skin; and systemic scleroderma, where a number of organs can be involved, such as the skin, blood vessels, lungs, kidneys, and digestive system.

SCLERODERMA CAUSES:-

There may be a genetic predisposition because the condition tends to run in families. It is also possible that other environmental triggers, such as infections or toxins, can contribute to the development of the disease. Abnormalities in immune cells are also thought to be a significant cause of scleroderma. In immune cell abnormalities, a person’s immune cells mistakenly attack the healthy tissues of his body. Still, the detailed mechanisms for the disease onset and its progression have yet to be identified.

SCLERODERMA SYMPTOMS:-

Symptoms include thickening and hardening of the skin, stiffened joints, discoloration of fingers or toes from Raynaud’s phenomenon, the problem with digestive organs, or even involvement of specific organs like lungs or kidneys

GENERAL APPROACH:-

The general approach to the management of scleroderma is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at controlling symptoms, preventing complications, and thereby improving quality of life. It includes:

  1. Drugs: Depending on the type of symptoms and complications, several drugs might be prescribed. There are anti-inflammatory drugs, which might suppress them and slow the disease process, circulating agents to improve blood flow and mitigate symptoms such as pain and stiffness, and then drugs with specific indications like hypertension or gastrointestinal disturbances.
  2. Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy would enhance the mobility of the joints and muscle strength besides helping in general functioning. It can also correct conditions such as tightening of skin or contractures of the joints.
  3. Occupational Therapy: Occupational therapists can assist patients with scleroderma in employing an optimal repertoire of strategies and adaptations to handle day-to-day activities despite the limitations of the disease.
  4. Skin Care: Proper skin care is provided to patients with scleroderma, to avoid complications brought about by pressure ulcers, among others. This may include moisturizing the skin, avoiding trauma and exposure to excessive sunlight, and a tender skin care regimen.
  5. Emotional Support: Because chronic conditions such as scleroderma are difficult to live with, patients face numerous problems on emotional and psychological levels while dealing with the disease; therefore, getting emotional support from family members, friends, or other support groups and professionals helps them in their interactions.

HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT FOR SCLERODERMA:-

Homeopathic remedies are used in an attempt to provoke the self-healing forces within the body to restore balance and remove the symptoms. Some of the commonly used remedies for manifestations associated with scleroderma include:

  1. Thuja occidentalis: Useful for the treatment of skin manifestations like induration and induration of the skin, and also in muscular stiffness and painful feelings in joints.
  2. Silicea: The remedy is indicated in complaints of induration and fibrosis, coldness, and weakness of extremities.
  3. Arsenicum album: Useful in complaints like burning pains; inability to lie still; anxious restlessness and stomach problems.
  4. Calcarea carbonica: Typically people with a tendency to become obese, excessive sweating, and sensitivity to cold.
  5. Sulfur: It is indicated in cases of itches, burning, and dryness of the skin along with other forms of digestive disturbances.
