What is the treatment for scleroderma?
Scleroderma has no known cure – there is no treatment to stop the overproduction of collagen. Your doctor may recommend a number of medications to make it easier for you to live with scleroderma by treating its symptoms. Your doctor may also suggest treatments to deal with complications of scleroderma that may affect various organs. Doctors often treat localized scleroderma with therapies such as moisturizers or corticosteroid medications that you apply to your skin. Corticosteroid medications impede your body’s ability to make substances that can cause inflammation.
