Signs, Causes, and Treatments of Morphea

7. Treatment

The treatment path for morphea focuses on managing symptoms and varies depending on the type of morphea and the affected area. Active disease that has been present less than three months responds the best to treatment. Topical medications and phototherapy work for most adults with morphea. Systemic therapies with stronger medications are necessary in some cases. People at risk of physical limitations, such as those with pansclerotic morphea, may undergo physical therapy.
