Bullous morphea
Abstract
Bullous morphea is an infrequent type of morphea, for this reason there is not much evidence on the literature about the best treatment for this condition. We introduce the case of a 10 years old child with a bullous morphea diagnosis; she was successfully treated with phototherapy, calcipotriene and superoxide dismutase.
