Doris: Morphea

I have spent over $2000.00 on different creams, ointments and pills to no avail.

I was diagnosed with morphea in 2006. It started with itching that would not stop and now after a year and a half later it is still itching and painful with more blotches appearing weekly.

I have spent over two thousand dollars on different creams, ointments and pills to no avail.

What I found that gives me the most relief is Vicks Vapor Rub, put directly on the sores. I am able to sleep almost all night.
