Heads up- I am a cosmetologist and have worked with the Parifin Wax which is wonderful, I highly recommend, but ... DO NOT USE VASELINE TO MOISTURIZE!! IT will end up doing the opposite. There are creams, soaps and lotions recommended for those with scleroderma, I would urge you to find these(I found a good list on the John Hopkins Scleroderma site.) Also, my mother has scleroderma, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT USE VASELINE AS A MOISTURIZER!
