Sweet Posted March 11, 2011 Question: Have any of you developed scarring on your chin, that looks sort of "orange peel"? You know, kind of lumpy? Quote Warm and gentle hugs, Pamela ISN Support Specialist International Scleroderma Network (ISN) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joelf Posted March 11, 2011 Sorry, Pam, I can't be much help to you over your chin lumps but wondered if it could be folliculitis? Just a thought! :emoticon-dont-know: I have orange peel-like lumps on my thighs but I think that's called cellulite!! :( Quote Jo Frowde ISN Board Member ISN Secretary of the Board ISN Assistant Webmaster SD World Webmaster ISN Sclero Forums Manager ISN News Manager ISN Hotline Support Specialist International Scleroderma Network (ISN) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shelley Ensz Posted March 11, 2011 Hi Sweet, I may be wrong (I often am, and you know that), but I don't recall hearing of this in relation to scleroderma. You might possibly have what is called peau d’orange (French for orange peel skin) which is pretty common and can be treated with botox (or, just lived with, but I don't think that is quite your style, eh?). I think I see a dermatology visit in your near future. Let us know what you find out, will you? And good luck! :emoticons-group-hug: Quote Warm Hugs, Shelley Ensz Founder and President International Scleroderma Network (ISN) Hotline and Donations: 1-800-564-7099 The most important thing in the world to know about scleroderma is sclero.org.

Sweet Posted March 12, 2011 My rheumatologist thought it Rosacea, but I don't have that. Yep you are right Shelley, Derm doctor here I come! I will let you know what I find out.

Purr Posted March 12, 2011 Hi Sweet, I have that on my chin, too. When the skin on my face tightens it goes away. My Rheumatologist told me what it is. My memory isn't very good. :emoticon-bang-head: I'm thinking it's excess collagen?? I can't get in touch with her until Monday. I'll see what I can find out then. :bye: Purr Quote Love makes the world go around! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
summer Posted March 12, 2011 Hi Sweet, I have it on my forehead, it comes and goes, weird. When I do have it, the skin on my forehead feels a bit bumpy and thick, and a touch oily. It doesn't peel though. Summer :happy-dance: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Posted March 15, 2011 Thank you guys for you input, I truly appreciate it! Quote Warm and gentle hugs, Pamela ISN Support Specialist International Scleroderma Network (ISN) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kramer57 Posted March 15, 2011 Yup, I have that on my chin, under the corners of my mouth. Don't know what it is but I got it. Would really like to know what the dermo says about yours. I've got so many other things to do (sleep study, neurologist appointment, supposed to get PT...) that the skin thing is far down the list.
