What Is Morphea?
10. Treatment
There is no known cure for morphea, but most cases will disappear on their own regardless. In the meantime, treatments are available that will help to lessen the severity of the symptoms. This can include corticosteroid creams that will help to prevent inflammation, but these should not be used in the long term.
Other medications are available that will help to soften the skin, although it might be weeks or months before any improvement is noticed. For the more severe cases, medication may be provided that will help to suppress the immune system. Light therapy may also be used in some cases.
