Scleroderma can be divided into localized and systemic types according to the scope of skin sclerosis and whether there is visceral damage. Localized scleroderma only manifests as local or extensive sclerosis of the skin, and generally does not involve internal organs. However, due to people's lack of understanding of this disease, many people mistakenly think that scleroderma cannot be married and have children, which is actually wrong.

At present, there is no exact cause of localized scleroderma and systemic scleroderma. However, neither localized scleroderma nor systemic scleroderma will spread from person to person, and the possibility of inheritance is extremely small.

Whether localized or systemic scleroderma, early diagnosis and treatment are very important. If diagnosed and treated in time, some patients can cure or improve their symptoms. For systemic scleroderma, patients should have regular general examinations to test the functions of internal organs such as lungs; If it is facial localized scleroderma, sometimes it will be accompanied by unilateral facial atrophy, which will have a certain impact on the patient's appearance. For this kind of patients, filling plastic surgery can be performed on the basis of oral drugs, which can greatly improve the appearance.

Localized scleroderma does not affect marriage and childbirth at all. Systemic scleroderma, if the patient's heart, lungs and internal organs are not seriously affected, can still be born under the supervision of a doctor.
