The surface is smooth and shiny like waxy, the center is slightly concave, the hair at the skin is shed, sweating is reduced, the surrounding capillaries are dilated, and the color is purple or darkened. Advanced skin atrophy and hypopigmentation. Skin lesions vary in shape, and are classified into four types: patchy, banded, drip-shaped, and generalized. Among them, patchy is the most common. The disease generally has no conscious symptoms, some may show mild itching or tingling sensation, gradually become dull, no obvious systemic symptoms, and limited scleroderma generally does not invade the internal organs.
