EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating effects of scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disorder that causes the body's immune system to attack its own cells. The image showcases the shiny and toughened skin on hands suffering from systemic sclerosis, a form of scleroderma. Scleroderma is characterized by the persistent hardening of connective tissues throughout the body. While it can affect any part of the body, this photo highlights how it particularly impacts the hands. This condition not only alters one's physical appearance but also brings immense pain and discomfort. The photograph serves as a reminder of the complexity and severity of this disease. It reveals how scleroderma affects various organs such as arteries, kidneys, lungs, heart, digestive tract, and joints. Additionally, Raynaud's phenomenon is often present in patients with scleroderma - causing painful whitening of fingers and toes when exposed to cold temperatures. Unfortunately, there is currently no known cure for this debilitating disorder. As a result, individuals living with scleroderma face significant challenges in managing their symptoms and maintaining their overall health. Science Photo Library presents this poignant image to raise awareness about scleroderma while shedding light on its impact on those affected by it. Through visual storytelling like this photograph, we are reminded of both our vulnerability as human beings and our ongoing quest for medical advancements to combat such diseases effectively.
