Scleroderma: Morphea vs. Systemic Diagnosis

It's everywhere, and honestly, I'm embarrassed to even wear shorts. It’s been brutal on my face, too. I've been scouring the web for a cure, but nothing's working. If anyone knows if there's a specific treatment available in Italy—my aunt and grandparents are there—please let me know. I heard there might be something, but I couldn't go because I didn't have my medical history handy. Such a waste. This started when I was 12—just pure stress wrecking my immune system...
I don't want to let you down, but I've been looking for a cure for two and a half years now, and unfortunately, it just doesn't exist. For now, we're on our own. I have it on my legs too, so I won't wear dresses or shorts either. I'm even embarrassed to go to the beach. But believe me, there are people dealing with much worse, God forbid. We just have to grit our teeth and deal with how we look. I read somewhere that you can only manage the condition; it usually spreads for about three to five years and then just stops, but it all depends on how strong your body is. We have to work on ourselves and our mental state, since that's where it all started anyway. Just keep your head up... feel free to ask me anything else. Peace.
