Hi ,
Morphea is a chronic connective tissue disorder of skin.
You can apply Calcipotriol or steroids on the affected skin 2-3 times after consulting dermatologist.
Phototherapy is a new good option for morphea.
Please visit a good dermatologist or physician for proper examination and treatment with prescription drugs and UVA1 phototherapy.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
