Signs, Causes, and Treatments of Morphea
3. Risk Factors
Medical experts have identified a few risk factors that affect a person’s risk of developing morphea. White people are more likely to have the condition than other ethnicities. Females are three times more likely to have morphea than males. While morphea can affect a person of any age, it usually appears between the ages of two and 14 or in the mid-40s. People with a family history of autoimmune diseases are more likely to have morphea, as well.
