Morphea is two types 1) localised.., present as black coloured indurated lesions or hard white elevation mixed with black (guttate morphea)
2) generalised, ..,present as large number of plaques on trunk,abdomen,thighs ....it is connective tissue disorder with involvement of immune system ..none of the treatment is available.only symptomatic to alleviate the symptoms........immunomodulators.,antifibrotic agents and vasoactive agents have some more beneficial for this problem..,
For localised morphea ...using intralesional steroids and topical tacrolimus have good result...consult good dermatologist and evaluate the problem systamatically...ok./bye

Hello, welcome to Healthcaremagic. Morphea is a medical term for localized scleroderma. The disease involves isolated patches of hardened skin - there generally is no internal organ involvement. many different treatments have been tried for morphea including topical, intra-lesional, and systemic corticosteroids. Antimalarials such as hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine have been used. Other immunomodulators such as methotrexate, topical tacrolimus, and penicillamine have been tried. Ultraviolet A (UVA) light, with or without psoralens have also been tried. you must consult your doctor and try for some other treatment from these. Wish you good health.
