Scleroderma

Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disease that causes hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues. It may also affect blood vessels, joints, lungs, digestive organs, and kidneys. Patients commonly experience skin thickening, joint stiffness, cold-sensitive fingers, acid reflux, and fatigue. The severity and progression of the disease vary from person to person, making early diagnosis and specialized care extremely important. At Dr. Sowmya Kotha’s Rheumatology Clinic, patients receive comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment aimed at slowing disease progression, reducing symptoms, and improving quality of life. Advanced therapies, lifestyle management, and regular monitoring are used to manage complications and maintain organ health. The clinic focuses on providing compassionate and long-term care for individuals living with scleroderma.
