Calcinosis universalis is a rare condition characterized by the widespread deposition of calcium salts in the skin and soft tissues throughout the body. It often occurs in individuals with underlying autoimmune diseases, such as scleroderma or dermatomyositis, and can lead to painful lumps or nodules. The exact cause of calcinosis universalis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve disturbances in calcium metabolism. Treatment options may include medications to manage symptoms, but there is no definitive cure. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals is essential for managing the condition effectively.
