What Is Morphea?
7. Self-Esteem
As mentioned, morphea can also appear on the patient’s face – where it is clearly visible to other people. The condition can also be very unsightly, and this can cause the patient to become very conscious about their appearance. This can, in turn, have a significant impact on the patient’s self-esteem.
It is not only facial morphea that can result in a low self-esteem. Some people with the condition on their arms and legs may dress in a way to try and cover it up. Other people might be uncomfortable about bearing their skin in front of intimate partners. Some patients with the condition are likely to need some form of therapy to help them with their self-esteem issues.
