What Is Systemic Scleroderma?
4. Is This Condition Rare?
Systemic scleroderma is considered a rare autoimmune disorder, with significantly less than 1% of the population affected. However, there are still anywhere from 50 to 300 cases per 1 million people, and for them, the crisis is real and substantial.
Women are nearly four times more likely to be diagnosed with the condition than men, and there is no definitive explanation as to why that might be. Those affected should seek a specialist for treatment.
