Learn About Scleredema

What is the definition of Scleredema?
Scleredema is a form of cutaneous mucinosis, a diverse group of rare skin conditions that are characterized by an accumulation of mucin (a jelly-like complex carbohydrate substance) in the skin. Signs and symptoms of this condition include hardening and thickening of the skin which may restrict movement. Skin in affected areas may be red or brown and often has an 'orange-skin' appearance. In some cases, Scleredema resolves spontaneously on its own, while in other affected people, the condition persists for long periods of time.
