AI Article Synopsis

  • Morphea is a rare skin condition characterized by inflammation and fibrosis, presenting in various ways.
  • The report discusses two cases where morphea appeared as an isotopic response following a benign skin disease, focusing on the connection between the two.
  • It emphasizes the need for follow-up care for benign skin issues like lichen striatus and pigmented purpuric dermatoses, as they can lead to the uncommon development of morphea.

Article Abstract

Morphea is an uncommon inflammatory and fibrosing disorder that has a polymorphous clinical presentation. We report two cases of morphea developing as an isotopic response after a preceding benign skin disease, accompanied by a review of the literature. This case series highlights the importance of return to care recommendations for benign skin conditions such lichen striatus and pigmented purpuric dermatoses due to the rare possibility of subsequent morphea development.
