In recent years, there has been a steady increase in the incidence of localized scleroderma (morphea). The article summarizes modern data from domestic and foreign literature on the clinical picture, course and principles of therapy of the disease. Currently, none of the methods of morphea therapy is highly specific. Ongoing scientific and clinical studies aimed at finding drugs that can affect both inflammation and the formation of fibrosis show the limited viability of therapy at the current stage of medical development and open up new possible prospects for the treatment of patients.
