Symptoms Of Scleroderma

Red Spots On Face And Chest

Because the blood vessels fail to function properly in bodies afflicted with scleroderma, they can begin to swell near the surface of the skin. The coagulation of blood cells can cause the appearance of red spots or lines on the skin, particularly on the face and chest. Though not physically painful, they are not aesthetically pleasing. When circulation does improve, though, the natural flow of blood should cause these spots to go away, meaning they are not typically permanent. Red spots on face and chest occur, at some time or another, in about seventy-five percent of scleroderma patients.
