Which are the causes of Scleroderma?
See some of the causes of Scleroderma according to people who have experience in Scleroderma
I have been told by my doctors that there is no known cause as to why people develop Scleroderma. It is not hereditary not genetic.

Systemic scleroderma only occurs in patients with a genetic predisposition but also requires some type of trigger event. Known triggers are exposure to certain organic solvents and silica dust (often in industrial settings). Researchers also believe that some patients may have an infectious process as a trigger as well.
Exposure to heavy metals and other toxins as well as Lyme disease have been suggested as potential triggers, but the research is not solid that these are actual triggers at this point.

There really are no known causes for Scleroderma at this time. Some say a exposure to chemicals can lead to it others say a tramedic experience can also trigger it or a really bad virus.

I don't think anyone really knows what causes Scleroderma. There's ongoing research. Is it genetics? My late maternal aunt was believed to have had lupus and then later in her life, it was decided she didn't. She's the only one in my immediate family with anything like this disease. The environment? I live below an army airfield and as a child, I saw many planes fly over; I also played in 'chat' which is a white powdered covered rock used for grading and roads. I can't be sure. I live in Oklahoma, I am a Comanche Indian and learned there was a recent study on the Choctaw Indians who had a 'high incidence' of Scleroderma; however, I never heard the results.

it is a rheumatologic disease autoimmune...that is to say are created antucuerpos that instead of defending our body attack it basically creating the stimulation of an overproduction of collagen that creates the hardening of the skin, decreases the lumen of the capillaries with vasospasm to cold, and the hardening of internal organs, basically, digestive tract, lung and kidneys

Do not know the causes, it seems that this could be related to an infection virica.

There is No known cause it is said that it may be an exposure to certain chemicals or stress. But the real unique thing is that your body begins to attack you

Do not know the direct causes, but I think that they are involved in the development of the disease genetic factors, stress, worry, intolerance to certain foods like gluten and dairy, humid atmosphere and sudden temperature changes.

Cause unknown so far. What is known is that she is a genetic, progressive, and degenerative.
