Growing Morphea, Disformed Face, Sensitive Skin. No Help From Scar Make Up. Any Treatment?
With regard to Morphea, is there any new treatments? I'm willing to travel abroad if need be. At first I was told it's uncurable and the treatment provided had a 50/50 chance of 'slowing' it down or not. Only it has been a few years, it keeps on growing, it's disformed my face, it feels horrible and very sensitive. Surely there's something what can be done to cover it up or make it better (scar makeup just does not work). I don't know where else to try, the NHS don't seem very helpful in this situation.

It is practiced that TACROLYMUS 1 % is tried for local application.
CALCIPOTRIOL&BETAMETHASONE are tried locally at night .
In resistant cases MYCOPHYNOLATE is tried .
This is the history and i wish you a good luck. Thank you.
