skin problem!! morphea?? diagnosed but confused?

Question:

i went to the doc for this rather large spot on my back. its shinny rough an darker then the rest of my skin.. during the winter it itches when its cold. i was diagnosed at first with "sun spots" and a bad reaction to some sun block. as i got older this spot turned to a patch and is now covering my whole spine with about .5 in each way, my whole lower back hip bone to hip bone, and both shoulder blades.. if anyone has any information on what this can be and what can clear it up id REALY appreciate it. at times it makes me have a complex because my family takes it as a joke and what if it more than morphea...what happens if i become pregnant? will it affect my baby?
