2Color Skin Changes
As the skin becomes so tight due to scleroderma, it would appear shiny. In some cases, the color can change as well. It would get lighter or darker, depending on the type of scleroderma. In people with diffuse scleroderma, the skin could become “hyperpigmented” with a salt-and-pepper appearance. In morphea scleroderma, a form of localized scleroderma, you would notice reddish skin spots that thicken into oval-shaped patches on the legs, arms, face, back, stomach, or chest. The middles of the areas can be ivory and have violet borders.[2]
