Myle: Morphea

Hello, my name is Myle and I am a twenty-six-year-old Colombian currently living in Spain. Two years ago I got a spot on my back. I went to a dermatologist, who at first told me it was some type of fungus and treated me accordingly.

But the spot kept on growing and changing in colour and aspect. The skin got really dry, around it. It seemed as if someone had hit me, and the inside turned white.

Since it wouldn't get better, I went to another dermatologist, who did a biopsy and diagnosed morphea. Now I am applying colchicine. The spot is not as hard, but it is still growing.

I have a lot of doubts about my illness still, and I am so scared that it will get worse, since I have a two year old baby. It is for her that I have to be strong and healthy, to take care of her. But sometimes, like today, I wake up and am very depressed.

If somebody has the same problem as me, please write to me so we can share doubts, and to know whether you have been treated with something that works better.

Thanks for your attention.
