What is Granuloma Annulare
Granuloma Annulare is a general skin condition which affects the skin of children, teenagers or young adults. It is characterised by the appearance of yellowish lumps on both sides of the body more or less evenly and is formed by skin colored bumps. Some types of granuloma annulare have been linked with diabetes but this is very uncommon in the ordinary type. granuloma annulare will disappear after a few weeks or months without leaving a scar, but it may recur at the same site or somewhere else at a later date. A biopsy and blood tests are usually needed.
Granuloma annulare causes no symptoms, or a just mild itch at the start of any new area. It can be tender if knocked.
