CREST Syndrome is an autoimmune disease, which means that the patients own immune system is working against them. It affects the patients skin and connective tissues and, thankfully, it is quite rare. Women are affected by it more often than men are, and it usually affects people aged between 10 and 50 years old.

While CREST syndrome can be very uncomfortable, it is not usually dangerous and only those people with the most severe cases will be at risk. Here we provide more information on the condition, along with some of the symptoms that patients can expect to encounter.
