morning,

Have you been diagnosed with scleroderma? If not you should see your GP and get further test to confirm diagnosis and get relevant treatment.

Good luck

Yes, I am trying to find a doctor for that but most of the doctors have refunded to diagnose it because they don't know much about it. How is this disease diagnosed? Only through blood test?

[Buttsy in reply to dacharya]

You can have blood test initially, if they are positive then you would usually be referred to a rheumatologist, who may do further test including nail fold capillarscope. Think you need to see the GP first.

Take care
