Scleroderma is an uncommon disease that affects the connective tissue, causing skin hardening and sometimes organ damage. There are two main forms of scleroderma: localised scleroderma, or morphea, which usually has a mild and limited course and only affects the skin and/or the tissues below it, and systemic sclerosis, which involves skin hardening and internal organ problems. The cause of localised scleroderma is unknown. Recent studies suggest that this form can have different levels of severity and can affect some organs. To avoid complications due to the high morbidity of localised scleroderma, early treatment is recommended. In this article, we present the main aspects and details of the management of patients with localised scleroderma.
硬皮病是一种罕见的疾病，会影响结缔组织，导致皮肤硬化，有时还会造成器官损害。硬皮病主要有两种类型：局限性硬皮病，即硬斑病，通常病程较轻且有限，仅影响皮肤和/或其下方的组织；以及系统性硬化症，会涉及皮肤硬化和内脏器官问题。局限性硬皮病的病因尚不清楚。最近的研究表明，这种类型可能有不同程度的严重程度，并且会影响一些器官。为避免因局限性硬皮病的高发病率而引发并发症，建议尽早治疗。在本文中，我们介绍了局限性硬皮病患者管理的主要方面和细节。
