Musical Jewelry Box by Sherrill Knaggs, ISN Artist I am a twenty-nine year old who was diagnosed with morphea four years ago, when I noticed there was something different about my right leg.

I would like to know from someone who has children, as to whether my daughter can develop the same thing. If somebody knows of a different case, please write to me.
