Hello All!  I am one of the moderators for this site and hope...

I was able to find this information for you on our site:

 

The word "scleroderma" means "hardening of the skin" and refers to one of the possible physical effects of the disease.

 

Localized scleroderma is referred to as morphea or linear scleroderma and does not affect the internal organs. People who develop localized scleroderma usually do not develop generalized scleroderma.

 

For more information turn to our Health Encyclopedia - Diseases and Conditions: Morphea Scleroderma.

 

 

Hope this helps, all the best, sue
