Abstract:
We evaluated the self-esteem and quality of life of 47 children with morphea with the use of the Harter self-perception profile for children and Visual Analog Scale. Most children with morphea have normal self-worth and a high quality of life. Morphea, like some other childhood chronic illnesses, does not impair self-esteem.
