Signs, Causes, and Treatments of Morphea

9. Prognosis

Morphea is usually benign and rarely becomes a more serious issue. In most cases, the lesions are superficial and will resolve with time. More serious classifications of morphea persist longer but do usually improve. However, these types of the condition can sometimes cause serious, long-term damage, especially in children. Substantial symptoms may include significant skin changes affecting the face, limb-length discrepancies, and physical disabilities.
