There is no treatment for [disease name]; the mainstay of therapy is supportive care.
The mainstay of treatment for scleroderma is medical therapy. Pharmacologic medical therapies for scleroderma include [[topical]] [[tacrolimus]] for [[morphea]], [[methotrexate]] for diffuse [[sclerosis]] of the [[skin]], [[minocycline]] for [[calcinosis cutis]], [[nifedipine]] for [[Raynaud's phenomenon]], [[captopril]] for scleroderma [[renal]] crisis, treatment of [[gastroesophageal reflux disease]] and [[pulmonary hypertension]]. Localized [[phototherapy]] with [[ultraviolet light]] is preferred for the treatment of [[morphea]].

Overview

The mainstay of treatment for scleroderma is medical therapy. Pharmacologic medical therapies for scleroderma include topical tacrolimus for morphea, methotrexate for diffuse sclerosis of the skin, minocycline for calcinosis cutis, nifedipine for Raynaud's phenomenon, captopril for scleroderma renal crisis, treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and pulmonary hypertension. Localized phototherapy with ultraviolet light is preferred for the treatment of morphea.
