  Granuloma annulare is a skin condition that causes a raised rash or bumps in a ring pattern, usually on the hands and feet. […] The signs and symptoms of granuloma annulare can vary, depending on the type: […] Localized. This is the most common type of granuloma annulare. The rash borders are circular or semicircular, with a diameter up to 2 inches (5 centimeters). The rash occurs most commonly on the hands, feet, wrists and ankles of young adults. […] Generalized. This type is uncommon and usually affects adults. It causes bumps that form a rash on most of the body, including the trunk, arms and legs. The rash might cause discomfort or itchiness. […] Under the skin. A type that usually affects young children is called subcutaneous granuloma annulare. It produces small, firm lumps under the skin, instead of a rash. The lumps form on the hands, shins and scalp. […] Treatment might clear the skin gradually, but the bumps tend to come back. Untreated, the condition might last from a few weeks to decades.

  Granuloma annulare mainly affects children, teenagers and young adults, but older adults can get it too. […] The most common symptom is small circular patches of pink, purple or skin-coloured bumps on the skin. […] The patches are usually raised and grow slowly to around 2.5 to 5cm. They may eventually become flatter before gradually fading. […] In older adults, granuloma annulare is often made up of lots of small pink or skin-coloured bumps that cover large areas of the arms, legs or trunk (chest, tummy and back). […] Less commonly, granuloma annulare can cause 1 or more firm, rubbery lumps just under the skin, usually on the feet and fingertips. […] Granuloma annulare is harmless and sometimes disappears without treatment. But it can take a long time to clear up (2 to 10 years) and it often comes back.

  Granuloma annulare is a benign, asymptomatic, self-limited papular eruption found in patients of all ages. The primary skin lesion usually is grouped papules in an enlarging annular shape, with color ranging from flesh-colored to erythematous. […] Localized disease generally is self-limited and resolves within one to two years, whereas disseminated disease lasts longer. […] Despite the dramatic appearance of this cutaneous eruption, it generally is asymptomatic; however, there may be some mild pruritus. […] The duration of the skin eruption varies. In more than one half of patients, it resolves spontaneously within two months to two years. However, cases of disseminated granuloma annulare may last three to four years or as long as 10 years. […] The localized form of granuloma annulare composes 75 percent of cases. Localized granuloma annulare starts as a ring of small, firm, flesh-colored or red papules. As the condition progresses, there is some central involution, and the ring of papules slowly increases from 0.5 to 5.0 cm in diameter.

  Granuloma annulare symptoms include a raised, discolored rash. […] Symptoms of localized granuloma annulare include: Small bumps on your skin that appear right before a rash develops. Circular rash on your skin that may start as small circles that later merge. The rash may appear red, pink, purple or the same color as your unaffected skin. […] Symptoms of generalized granuloma annulare include: Bumps that appear over a large area of your skin. Bumps that join to form large, discolored areas. […] Symptoms of subcutaneous granuloma annulare include: Small lumps under your skin. Lumps that may grow quickly. Firm, round and painless lumps. Red, pink or discolored lumps. […] Symptoms of perforating granuloma annulare include: Small, painful, scaly bumps on your hands or fingers. Itchy or painful bumps. Bumps that leak fluid. Widespread bumps that connect to form large rashes.

  Granuloma annulare usually presents as erythematous plaques or papules arranged in an annular configuration on the upper extremities. […] Despite being a benign disease, it can be associated with more serious conditions such as HIV or malignancy. […] Granuloma annulare is often located on the lateral and dorsal hands and feet in a ring-like or circinate configuration. There is usually no pruritus or other symptoms associated with the lesions. […] Generalized granuloma annulare presents with numerous flesh-colored papules in an annular configuration on the trunk and extremities. Unlike the classic presentation, these lesions are often pruritic. Up to 15% of granuloma annulare cases are of the generalized type. This subtype rarely resolves on its own and has a poor response to therapy.

  Disseminated or generalized granuloma annulare is similar to the localized variant but is more widespread, having 10 or more lesions. In contrast to the localized form, these lesions may persist for three to four years or longer. […] Subcutaneous granuloma annulare is diagnosed primarily in children two to five years of age. The lesions are asymptomatic, rapidly growing subcutaneous nodules on the extremities, hands, scalp, buttocks, and pretibial and periorbital areas. […] Perforating granuloma annulare is rare and occurs most often in children and young adults. […] Granuloma annulare is difficult to treat clinically; reassurance that the condition will self-resolve may be the best option.

  Granuloma annulare can occur on any site of the body and is occasionally widespread. It only affects the skin. Granuloma annulare may cause no symptoms, but affected areas are often tender when knocked. The plaques tend to slowly change shape, size, and position. […] Generalised granuloma annulare usually presents in adults, as widespread skin-coloured, pinkish or slightly mauve-coloured patches. The disseminated type is composed of small papules, usually arranged symmetrically in poorly-defined rings 10 cm or more in diameter. They are often found around the skin folds of the trunk (armpits, groin). Itch is common. This is the commonest form associated with HIV. […] Individual lesions of localised granuloma annulare tend to clear within a few months or years, although they may recur even at the same site. Generalised and atypical variants are more persistent, sometimes lasting decades.

  Subcutaneous GA (predominantly occurring in children) – This form is characterized by firm or hard asymptomatic nodules in the deep dermis or subcutaneous tissues, with individual lesions measuring from 5 mm to 4 cm in diameter; lesions are prevalent on the anterotibial plateau, ankles, dorsal feet, buttocks, hands, scalp, and eyelids […] Generalized GA has a more chronic course, with rare spontaneous resolution, poor response to treatment, and frequent relapses. Spontaneous resolution of localized GA has occurred within 2 years in 50% of cases, though lesions may last weeks to decades. Recurrence, often at the same site, is noted in 40% of cases. Subcutaneous GA lesions often regress spontaneously. Local or distant recurrences have been reported in 20-75% of cases in different studies.

  Localized variations of this condition normally affects one specific area of the body, while generalized or disseminated granuloma annulare can affect more than one parts of the body at one time. Bumps associated with this form are more numerous than with localized granuloma annulare, and they can be itchy. Subcutaneous granuloma annulare can develop as a single, painless lump under the skin (subcutaneous), with the scalp, arms, and legs most often affected. With perforating granuloma annulare, bumps or pustules develop a yellow center which can leak a clear fluid, becoming crusty and eventually leaving a scar once the lesion disappears. In this type, the lesions can merge to form larger plaques. Patch granuloma annulare is a very rare form of the disease that primarily affects the trunk, core, and extremities, such as the fingers and toes.

  Symptoms of patch granuloma annulare include: Red, reddish-brown or purple flat areas of rash. A rash appears in one or more areas on your skin. […] For most people, granuloma annulare goes away on its own without treatment. It usually disappears completely within two years. However, in some people, the rash can come back later. […] Granuloma annulare is a chronic disease. Lesions often return, and rashes often return in the same place.

  Subcutaneous granuloma annulare presents with large nodules on the extremities. These nodules are sometimes called pseudorheumatoid nodules. Subcutaneous granuloma annulare is seen almost exclusively in children; the age range for developing the disease is about 1 to 14 years of age. […] The patch variant of granuloma annulare presents with erythematous patches that may involve large areas of skin. […] It is estimated that approximately half of the patients with the localized form of granuloma annulare will experience spontaneous remission within a 2-year period. […] Granuloma annulare is a benign, often self-limiting condition. Lesions can disappear spontaneously without sequelae, typically within several months to years. […] For most patients, the condition disappears within a few years. It tends to be more persistent when it spreads to other areas (generalized form) than when it is only in one location (localized form).

The center of the plaque may be lighter or darker than your normal skin color. Healed lesions of granuloma annulare do not leave scars. […] Granuloma annulare does not usually have any symptoms, although in some individuals, the lesions may be itchy. […] Rarely, granuloma annulare may be widespread, known as generalized granuloma annulare. Generalized granuloma annulare tends to occur in adults aged 30 and older. The condition may consist of 1-2 mm papules that appear on the arms, legs, and upper trunk.

  Granuloma annulare often looks like a ring of firm bumps (papules). These typically occur on only one or two sites of the body, most often on the backs of the hands, feet, elbows, or ankles. Less commonly, it can spread across larger areas of the body. Rarely, it does not have the characteristic ring-shape. […] In most cases granuloma annulare causes no symptoms, although it could be associated with a mild itch. The affected area of skin can feel tender when it is knocked. […] Localised granuloma annulare is limited to only a few sites and tends to improve spontaneously with time, treatment is usually unnecessary. Symptomatic or obviously visible patches may improve using strong steroid creams and are sometimes covered with a plaster. Less often, your doctor may consider treating the patches with steroid injections. […] There is no specific cure, but in over half of cases it will have disappeared within two years without any treatment. However, in 40% of patients, the condition may come back (relapse) in the future.

  Granuloma annulare is a long-lasting skin condition that may affect individuals at any age. This skin disease is relatively common, benign, and presents in five main types. If you have bumps or ring-shaped lesions on your skin that last for more than several weeks, you may require granuloma annulare treatment. Granuloma annulare is a common skin condition characterized by a ring, patterned, raised rash or lesions (bumps). Of the five types of granuloma annulare, the most common type generally affects the hands and feet of young adults and children. This condition is often seen in otherwise healthy individuals, though it is sometimes associated with diabetes or thyroid disease, among other health conditions. Granuloma annulare can occur anywhere on the body and may, occasionally, be widespread. In some cases, granuloma annulare can cause no symptoms, though affected areas may be tender to the touch. The plaques produced by this condition may change in shape, size, and position over time. For many individuals, granuloma annulare will go away on its own. The condition may disappear completely within 2-4 years. However, the rash can recur once it has resolved in some patients. In many cases, granuloma annulare clears up on its own without treatment and leaves no trace behind. But, because granuloma annulare is a chronic disease, the resulting lesions often return in the same place. Recurring problem areas often disappear quicker than areas with first-time rashes.

  https://patient.info/doctor/granuloma-annulare-pro

  Granuloma annulare is a benign inflammatory condition of unknown aetiology with dermal papules and annular plaques. Histology reveals foci of degenerative collagen with palisaded granulomatous inflammation. […] Both localised and generalised varieties are usually asymptomatic. The subcutaneous variety may become a large subcutaneous mass. Lesions may be stable for months and then enlarge over weeks. Perforating types may present with pain or itch. […] Localised is the most common type, accounting for around three quarters of all cases. This type is usually found in those under 30 years old. Lesions are typically localised to the dorsal surfaces of hands and/or feet. It is usually self-limiting within two years. […] The prognosis for generalised disease is worse, with some having a chronic course lasting up to 10 years, poor response to treatment, low chance of spontaneous remission and high risk of recurrence. Subcutaneous lesions often resolve spontaneously but may recur elsewhere.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granuloma_annulare

  Because granuloma annulare is usually asymptomatic and self-limiting with a course of about two years, initial treatment is generally topical steroids or calcineurin inhibitors; if unimproved with topical treatments, it may be treated with intradermal injections of steroids or phototherapy. If local treatment fails it may be treated with systemic corticosteroids. Treatment success varies widely, with most patients finding only brief success with the above-mentioned treatments. Most lesions of granuloma annulare disappear in pre-pubertal patients with no treatment within two years while older patients (50+) have rings for upwards of 20 years. The appearance of new rings years later is not uncommon.

  Granuloma annulare (GA) is a rare, sometimes chronic skin condition which presents as reddish bumps on the skin arranged in a circle or ring. It can initially occur at any age, though two-thirds of patients are under 30 years old, and it is seen most often in children and young adults. Females are two times as likely to have it as males. […] Aside from the visible rash, granuloma annulare is usually asymptomatic. Sometimes the rash may burn or itch. People with GA usually notice a ring of small, firm bumps (papules) more commonly over the backs of the forearms, hands or feet, often centered on joints or knuckles. GA, however, can be anywhere on the body and has also been seen on necks, backs, ankles and wrists. Bumps are caused by the clustering of T cells below the skin. These papules start as very small, pimple looking bumps, which spread over time from that size to dime, quarter, half-dollar size and beyond. Occasionally, multiple rings may join into one. Rarely, GA may appear as a firm nodule under the skin of the arms or legs. It also occurs on the sides and circumferential at the waist and without therapy can continue to be present for many years. Outbreaks continue to develop at the edges of the aging rings.

  Furthermore, while they reported phototherapy to be the most well-studied and reliable option for generalized disease, there is otherwise a paucity of evidence-based therapies to establish a paradigm of care for patients with generalized GA. […] The study by Barbieri et al. also provides data on commonly prescribed treatments. Topical and intralesional corticosteroids appear to be the de facto first-line treatments for GA, with 41.5% of GA patients filling a prescription for topical corticosteroids and 9.4% of GA patients receiving injections for intralesional corticosteroids within 6 months of being diagnosed. […] Interestingly, phototherapy, despite being the most efficacious and evidence-based treatment currently available, was utilized by only 0.5% of patients, suggesting that perhaps logistical and financial constraints may preclude phototherapy from being a viable treatment option.

  Granuloma annulare (GA) is a rare, sometimes chronic skin condition which presents as reddish bumps on the skin arranged in a circle or ring. It can initially occur at any age, though two-thirds of patients are under 30 years old, and it is seen most often in children and young adults. Females are two times as likely to have it as males. […] Aside from the visible rash, granuloma annulare is usually asymptomatic. Sometimes the rash may burn or itch. People with GA usually notice a ring of small, firm bumps (papules) more commonly over the backs of the forearms, hands or feet, often centered on joints or knuckles. GA, however, can be anywhere on the body and has also been seen on necks, backs, ankles and wrists. Bumps are caused by the clustering of T cells below the skin. These papules start as very small, pimple looking bumps, which spread over time from that size to dime, quarter, half-dollar size and beyond. Occasionally, multiple rings may join into one. Rarely, GA may appear as a firm nodule under the skin of the arms or legs. It also occurs on the sides and circumferential at the waist and without therapy can continue to be present for many years. Outbreaks continue to develop at the edges of the aging rings.

If you have bumps or ring-shaped lesions on your skin that last for more than several weeks, you may require granuloma annulare treatment. Granuloma annulare is a common skin condition characterized by a ring, patterned, raised rash or lesions (bumps). Of the five types of granuloma annulare, the most common type generally affects the hands and feet of young adults and children. This condition is often seen in otherwise healthy individuals, though it is sometimes associated with diabetes or thyroid disease, among other health conditions.

These papules start as very small, pimple looking bumps, which spread over time from that size to dime, quarter, half-dollar size and beyond. Occasionally, multiple rings may join into one. Rarely, GA may appear as a firm nodule under the skin of the arms or legs. It also occurs on the sides and circumferential at the waist and without therapy can continue to be present for many years. Outbreaks continue to develop at the edges of the aging rings.
