    Correct answer:

    Scleroderma.

    A chronic autoimmune disease, primarily of the skin. In the classic form, there's symmetrical skin hardening due to fibrosis and antinuclear antibodies are present. Also, 90% of these patients has Raynaud's phenomenom. In the diffuse form of scleroderma, the internal organs can become affected as well.
