Georgina: Mother of Child with Morphea
Spanish
Hello, I am the mother of a five-year-old child who about six months ago was diagnosed with morphea, a previously unknown illness for me.
The only thing I know about it is what her doctor told me, namely that it has no cure. I would like to hear, if somebody can help me by telling me, how this is treated, or how can I prevent it from spreading.
I am desperate, and I do not know which doctor would specialize in this illness. I would be very grateful if somebody could send me an answer. Thank you very much.

SCLERO.ORG was the world's leading nonprofit for trustworthy research, support, education and awareness for scleroderma and related illnesses from 1998 to 2021. It was a grassroots movement from the original Scleroderma from A to Z web site, which was founded by Shelley Ensz. We were a 501(c)(3) U.S.-based public charitable foundation. We closed this web site and our nonprofit agency in April 2021.
