Morpohea
Morphoea, also often referred to as localised scleroderma, is a skin condition that can be characterised by an inflammation, thickening, and hardening of the outermost layers of the skin. This occurs due to an increased collagen deposition. While this is a skin condition that is seen to affect only a small percentage of the UK population, is it three times more likely to occur in women than men, and can often be seen to begin during childhood.
Symptoms of Morphoea include reddened, oval patches of hardened and skin that typically develop on the arms and thighs. These patches of skin can often become irritated or inflamed, leading many suffering from this skin condition to seek out treatment that will help to resolve the issue and alleviate any of the accompanying symptoms. Birmingham Dermatology Clinic are here to help, providing expert care as to treat the effects of Morphoea and restore your confidence.
