What is the history of Scleroderma?
When was Scleroderma discovered? What is the story of this discovery? Was it coincidence or not?
The term scleroderma comes from the greek word, “sclero” which means hard, or hardening and “derma” meaning skin. According to sclero.org, Hippocrates was the first to describe the illness as “thickened skin.” The first detailed description of the disease was by an Italian doctor named Carlo Curzio in the mid 1700s
