What Is Morphea?
5. Movement Problems
Our skin is usually quite flexible, and it needs to be. This is especially the case around our joints where the skin will be stretched and bent in different directions. If the skin was to lose its flexibility, then it could mean that we lose some of this flexibility, and this is exactly what happens in some cases of morphea.
Many patients with morphea will find that tough, thick skin means that they are not able to bend their joints as much as they usually would. This can make it increasingly difficult for them to perform even simple tasks, and it can even affect their ability to work.
