University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital physicians provide your child with comprehensive, coordinated care from a variety of medical specialties. Although localized cutaneous scleroderma has no cure, our physicians work closely with pediatric dermatologists to lessen symptoms and prevent the condition from extending and interfering with growth and development.
Our physicians include those who are members of the the world’s first program to dedicated to treating epidermolysis bullosa, another disease of the skin and connective tissues. In addition, our pediatric specialists can work closely with experts in the University of Minnesota’s Scleroderma Clinic to optimize treatment plans and transition care for children with localized cutaneous scleroderma extending into the adult years.
