Scleroderma is a disease due to the overactive immune system. It means that the body's own immune system is fighting its own self. Symptoms would be frequent scarring and thickness of skin. Treatments for patients diagnosed with scleroderma is more focused on treating the symptoms such as lowering the blood pressure to prevent blood clots. Nurses could give inhibitor drugs like lisinopril.
