Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Generalized morphea is a subtype of localized scleroderma that lacks systemic manifestations. It is a rare condition in which idiopathic sclerosis of the skin occurs in a widespread manner. We report a 37-year old Thai female who presented with multiple hypopigmented lesions on right leg and right arm with a skin biopsy showing the typical sclerotic change. The patient responded to treatment with topical calcipotriol.
