Hello! I am 29 years old and it is diagnosed few weeks ago that I have a scleroderma lupus. My doctor thought that I am just overreacting when I complained on called hands (I have changed doctor after mentioned diagnose). Now, my finger is black and very painful. I do not know if this is associated with scleroderma lupus or not. Can you advice me on this?
Hello! You must go to doctor immediately! I am telling you this because you have gangrene. Gangrene is one of complications because of scleroderma lupus. Unfortunately, I think that your finger will be amputated. You will need to visit psychologist, too. I know that this is very difficult period of life for you, but you must be strong… Wish you luck!
