C. Eosinophilic fasciitis is a rare disorder presenting with skin changes that resemble diffuse systemic sclerosis. The inflammatory abnormalities, however, are limited to the fascia rather than the dermis and epidermis. Patients with eosinophilic fasciitis are further distinguished from those with systemic scleroderma by the presence of peripheral blood eosinophilia, the absence of Raynaud's phenomenon, an increased risk of developing aplastic anemia and good response to steroid (FROM CMDT 2006) Dermatomyositis will present typically with Gottron's papules and heliotrope rash.
