What could cause the skin to tighten on the face?

a co-worker has been advised by local doctors to take her 19 yr.son to the mayo clinic. over the last couple of years the skin on his face has pulled tight and there's some discoloration (loss of pigment ) and change in skin exture on his neck. At first the doctors thought it was a flesh eating disease, also M.S. has been mentioned . any ideas waht is could be ? has anyone heard of these type of symptoms?

Reply:No I've never heard of that, but keeps us up dated sorry! :(
Reply:Maybe his underwear is too tight.
Reply:If he worked around chemicals.....it could cause this.
Reply:Without being a Dr. I must agree with Alabama Girl Scleroderma another website is scleroderma.org. Scleroderma is very difficult to diagnose ( I dont think I spelled thet right ) but I would bring up to the Dr. Good Luck KG
Reply:Sounds Like Scerlerderma. Scerlerderma makes the skin tight over you whole body over a period of time when you have it it starts to effect you enternal ogans first like lthe liver or the bowels. cause the organ to slowly shut down.
