Just because you have a puffy sore face does not mean that you have scleroderma! It could be a variety of things. Do not panic. Diets high in salt can contribute to swelling, as can allergic reactions. Have you been put on any new medications recently? Have you experienced a change in sleeping patterns, diet, or stress level?
