Scleroderma on elbows

Scleroderma on the elbows may be caused by poor autoimmunity or lack of trace elements. It is also related to fungal infection, which may cause scleroderma on the skin. It can be treated with medication.

1. Poor autoimmunity: When a person has a weak constitution and poor autoimmunity, some skin reactions may occur, causing scleroderma to grow on the skin, and the skin will not look particularly lustrous. This can be improved by improving one's own immunity. Also, pay attention to skin cleansing and try not to scratch the affected area with your hands to prevent the local symptoms from worsening.

2. Lack of trace elements: Trace elements are indispensable to the body. If they are lacking, the skin may become rough and even scleroderma may occur. You should go to a medical institution for a trace element test. If it is caused by vitamin deficiency, you can improve it by taking oral vitamin drugs and replenish the trace elements in the body in time.

3. Fungal infection: Fungal infection is a contagious disease. It is also related to not paying attention to personal hygiene. You may be infected by fungi, which will cause headaches and swelling on the skin. If the symptoms are severe and no treatment measures are taken, scleroderma may develop. It needs to be treated under the guidance of a doctor by applying antifungal ointments.
