Morphea, also known as localized scleroderma, is a sclerosing disease of unknown etiology that involves mainly dermal and subcutaneous layers of skin. Several types of morphea exist and various clinical manifestations are encountered. Early clinical diagnosis is crucial to minimize functional and cosmetic sequelas. Treatment choice depends on activity, extent of disease and depth of involvement. In this review, we aimed to review clinical features and current treatment options for morphea.
