Possible scleroderma? 6yo daughter experienced this swelling on her fingers for at few years and hasn't changed with any treatment.
Been to the GP and they think it may be some sort of connective tissue disorder. We've tried multiple topical treatments: steroid cream, antifungal cream, emollients to name but a few. Nothing touches it.
I've done some research into systemic and localised sclerosis and I think the symptoms are in line with localised as there are no other symptoms. I'm just looking for some info that I can take to her appointment with the rheumatology specialist. Anything is appreciated!
