### **Title:**
**Self-Diagnosed Juvenile Diffuse Systemic Sclerosis with MCAS: A 21-Year-Old Hong Kong Woman Abandoned by the Medical System**
### **Medical Presentation**
**Diagnostic Criteria (2013 ACR/EULAR):**
– **Major Criterion:**
Skin hardening extending proximal to metacarpophalangeal joints
– **Minor Criteria:**
– Systemic Raynaud’s phenomenon (cold/emotional triggers)
– Digital edema and skin thickening
– Telangiectasia
– Hydrophobic skin changes (rapid bath foam disappearance)
– Lower limb petechiae (vascular pathology)
**Hallmark Signs (Post-2013 Research):**
– Hydrophobic/oleophilic skin with *ring-pattern foam sign* (concentric foam rings with central clearing)
– Giant capillaries under nailfold
– Subcutaneous calcification nodules
– Pathological skin remodeling (atrophic striae, epidermal-dermal junction disruption)

### **Symptom Timeline**
#### **Childhood Onset**
– **Systemic Raynaud’s:** Triphasic color changes (pallor→cyanosis→erythema) triggered by cold/stress
– **MCAS Manifestations:**
– Coffee-induced systemic pruritus (histamine release)
– Sleep inversion (H3 receptor dysregulation)
#### **Critical Progression (2024-2025)**
| **Date** | **Signs** | **Pathological Significance** |
|—————-|—————————————————————————|——————————|
| **Oct 2024** | Syncope with generalized pallor/cyanosis | Severe vascular crisis |
| | Ferritin 27.6 pmol/L | GI microbleeds (SSc complication) |
| **Jan 2025** | Non-butterfly facial erythema | Early capillary damage |
| **May 2025** | Facial tightening + alopecia | Follicular fibrosis |
| **Jun 2025** | • Palmar erythema + digital blanching<br>• “Oil-cracking” skin separation<br>• Joint contractures (mouth opening <4.5cm) | End-stage microangiopathy |
| **13 Jun 2025**| Lip cyanosis + oral telangiectasia, supine dyspnea | Visceral crisis (PAH/ILD) |
| **14 Jun 2025**| Fingertip necrosis (proximal extension), “clay-like” skin rebound | Imminent gangrene |

### **Systemic Involvement**
1. **Vascular:**
– Generalized Raynaud’s → Diffuse endothelial injury
– Chronic ischemia-reperfusion damage (erythema→blanching)
2. **Cutaneous:**
– *Stage-specific pathology:*
– **Edematous phase (2024):** Reversible skin pinchability
– **Fibrotic phase (2025):** Rodnan score ≥15 (forehead skin fold >5mm, rebound >10sec)
3. **Visceral:**
– **Lung:** Supine dyspnea → Pulmonary hypertension/fibrosis
– **GI:** Hypersalivation/regurgitation → Esophageal dysmotility

### **Medical Negligence Documentation**
1. **ER Dismissals:**
– Physician interrupted symptom description, stating: *”No current medical issue”*
– Ridiculed objective signs:
> “Oral capillaries 0.08mm? Normal! Skin rebound >10sec? Normal! Seek psychiatry!”
2. **Referral Letter Stigmatization:**
– Listed skin hardening under *”Patient claims…”*
3. **Diagnostic Omissions:**
– Ignored ferritin 27.6 pmol/L (SSc-related GI bleeding)
– Refused nailfold capillaroscopy (gold standard)

### **Appeal to the Global Community**
> “I may die undiagnosed, but let my case expose the cruelty faced by rare disease patients in Hong Kong. When doctors mock self-observed symptoms like *foam ring signs* or *oil-cracking skin*, they murder hope. My body is the evidence—may it ignite change for others.”
