### Patient: Doctor, I've been experiencing severe itching of the skin lately. I also have developed a skin rash and irritation. Additionally, my skin is very dry and is peeling off, making it look scaly and rough. And to add to that, my lips have also started swelling. What could this be?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, it seems like you have Scleroderma. This is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the skin and other connective tissues in the body. It can cause excessive production of collagen, which leads to tightening and hardening of the skin. It can also affect internal organs such as lungs, heart, and kidneys, and can cause serious complications if left untreated.
