Are plaques in Morphoea a sign of inflammation and increased blood flow? Is there a difference between new and old plaques?
A. New plaques of morphoea generally tend to show increased blood flow as part of the inflammatory response so they look red and can be itchy and uncomfortable. Thermography, which is used to detect temperature changes related to increase blood flow, can be useful to monitor these lesions as far as their activity is concerned. Older more mature lesions tend to look silver or brown and may fade altogether. back to top Q.
