Granuloma annulare may present as small nodules or ring-shaped papules, for example, and may additionally present with symptoms such as pain or itching.
Granuloma annulare is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that occurs in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue and is characterized by circumscribed papules or nodular lesions. The onset of the disease begins with small nodules or papular lesions that may progress to granuloma annulare nodules, which may be accompanied by pain or itching.
When granuloma annulare is present, it does not require treatment if the symptoms are not obvious and subside on their own. If pain or itching occurs, medication, cryotherapy, or surgical excision is needed.
Patients should seek medical advice if they feel unwell, and specific medication should be prescribed by the doctor.
