JUNE IS SCLERODERMA AWARENESS MONTH
Scleroderma, sometimes called systemic sclerosis, is a rare chronic autoimmune disease. It is not contagious and there is no known cause or cure. According to the Scleroderma Foundation, it affects more than 300,000 people in the United States alone. Because scleroderma can be difficult to diagnose, many people are unaware of their condition for several years after developing symptoms. To help spread awareness about this disease and its effects on those living with it, June is recognized as Scleroderma Awareness Month.
