  1. morphea

    Morphea, also known as localized scleroderma, is a rare skin condition that causes patches of skin to harden or become thick and firm. This hardening occurs due to an overproduction of collagen, a protein that helps support the skin. The patches may be white, pink, or purple and can appear anywhere on the body, but most commonly affect the trunk or arms. The exact cause of morphea is unknown, but it may be associated with an immune system response. Severity and symptoms can vary greatly, but the condition is often benign and does not affect overall life expectancy.
