Yes: Raynauds is one of the components found in scleroderma, however you can have raynauds and never develop scleroderma. Check for skin changes on hands as well as other collagen vascular diseases, including blood tests by internist.

Yes: Raynaud's phenomenon can be a part of scleroderma or it can exist on its own as raynaud's disease. Relatives of someone with scleroderma are more prone to having raynaud's disease.
