Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Linear scleroderma of the head and face is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by linear depressed scarring in the frontoparietal area of the face. Scleroderma results from an overproduction and accumulation of collagen in body tissues. The most popular approach to controlling the inflammatory phase of scleroderma is the use of immunosuppressive therapy. Mycophenolate is a commonly prescribed medication to help improve skin fibrosis in scleroderma. It comes in two forms: mycophenolate mofetil and mycophenolate sodium.
