Hi,
Itchy Ridge can be a feature of linear morphea. It is a connective tissue disorder and is characterized by depression in the dermis. Intralesional steroid injection is the treatment of choice while in chronic cases fillers can be used.
Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
