Linear sclerosis, also known as morphea or linear scleroderma, is a rare skin condition characterized by the thickening and hardening of the skin along a linear pattern. It results from collagen overproduction, leading to the formation of fibrous tissue. This condition can affect not only the skin but also underlying tissues, potentially causing functional impairment depending on its location. Treatment options may include topical steroids, phototherapy, or other immunosuppressive therapies to manage symptoms and reduce skin changes.
