Summary

This study looks at whether a simple, non-invasive scalp exam (trichoscopy) can detect signs of organ damage in people with systemic scleroderma. Researchers will compare scalp images from 200 patients and healthy volunteers to find patterns linked to lung, kidney, or blood vessel problems. The goal is to develop an easy screening tool for this serious autoimmune disease.
