Treatment of morphea

Abstract

Morphea is a fibrotic disease that primarily affects the skin and adjacent tissues, with uncertain pathogenesis. At present, there is no etiology-specific treatment available. In recent years, progress has been made in the treatment of morphea, including topical therapy, systemic therapy, UV phototherapy, laser therapy and surgical therapy in China and other countries. This review comprehensively and systematically outlines and summarizes relevant progress, in order to provide references for the research in morphea.
