Abstract
We present a case of morphea suspected of malignant melanoma, which was resistant to topical corticosteroid, but responded well to daily 5mg of prednisolone. Diagnosis of morphea in the early stage is sometimes difficult, but the presence of lilac ring and dermoscopic finding are helpful. Early diagnosis and systemic therapy are indicated for better prognosis of morphea.
