Subject: Rheumatology/dermatology

Patient was told by one dermatologist she had morphea on inside of thigh and treated with Dovonex. This improved for a while, then returned. Saw a different dermatologist who thought it might be s/l burned out. Could be a type of gout??

Patient now is seeing rheumatologist - has lesions on back of calf - and has stiffness, pain, decreased range of motion.

Thanks for any help.
