What Is Morphea?
2. Causes
Nobody has yet been able to determine what causes the condition, but there are suggestions as to what the causes might be. One suggestion is that it’s the result of some sort of infection, but there is no evidence to confirm this yet. Radiation therapy is another potential cause, but only a few people with the condition have undergone radiation therapy.
It has also been suggested that repeated trauma to the area can be a trigger, while some suspect it could be down to an abnormal response by the immune system. Regardless, we do know that the condition is not contagious.
