Hi,
The condition scleroderma is very debilitating indeed, it requires treatment with immuno-modulators and prescription strength steroids. You must consider consulting a Rheumatologist in your area to get treated.
As of now, you can apply emollients like liquid paraffin available over the counter to affected areas thrice a day. Avoid using detergents, soaps, food and chemicals that irritates skin. Use over the counter anta-acids like tab. nexium 20mg once a day before breakfast to get symptomatic relief from heart burn. The complain of fast heart beat requires urgent attention as well, consider seeing a general physician to get examined.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
