I am really sad since I do not know what to do about it.

Hello, it is very difficult to talk about this, since I had never paid attention to this illness.

When I was a kid I got a spot on my right leg, which was biopsied. They told me it was morphea, and I followed a treatment with creams, but it did not work. Now I am twenty-five years old, and that spot has grown throughout my right leg and on one side of my belly button.

I am really sad since I do not know what to do about it.
