I have localized Morphea and looking for a new treatment. Anyone know about lasers or any surgery to have it removed? (Photo)

Question

I have localized Morphea for over 20 years, I'm 24 years old and I been to 100 of doctors that don't seem to know much. Anyone know if I can use laser treatments or surgery to remove them would be get I need some else besides cream and shots

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There are no lasers that will cure this, it is an autoimmune collagen/scarring condition.  I have used pulsed dye laser in combiniation with fractional nonablative laser (Fraxel) with good results for patients who have had this in areas causing pain or functional impairment or to stop worsening.  But the color and scarring wont change much and if you are looking for cosmetic improvement on the body, lasers will not offer you that solution.  Best, Dr. Emer.
