PY - 2013 T2 - The Color Atlas of Family Medicine, 2e AB - A 35-year-old woman presented with areas of shiny tough skin in patches over her abdomen (Figure 182-1). The patient was otherwise in good health and was puzzled by this new condition. She feared that all her skin would become this way. The skin was slightly uncomfortable but not painful. A 3-mm punch biopsy confirmed the clinical suspicion of morphea or localized scleroderma. The patient was treated with topical clobetasol and calcipotriol with some improvement in skin quality and symptoms. An antinuclear antibody (ANA) test was positive, but she has not developed progressive systemic sclerosis.
