What is the skin pinch test for scleroderma?
What to expect: Your doctor will closely examine several areas of your skin where you may have thickening. Usually, they will lightly pinch your skin between two fingers or a finger and a thumb to gauge its thickness on a score of zero (soft, pliable skin with no thickening) to three. This pinch will not be painful.
