Key Points about Granuloma Annulare
- Definition: Granuloma annulare is a benign, chronic skin condition characterised by smooth, raised, ring-shaped or annular lesions, often on the hands, feet, or elbows.
- Causes: The exact cause is unknown, but it may be triggered by trauma, infections, or systemic conditions like diabetes mellitus. It is not infectious or cancerous.
- Symptoms: The condition presents as skin-coloured, red, or purple ring-shaped lesions. They are typically asymptomatic but may occasionally be itchy or tender.
- Investigations: Diagnosis is clinical based on the appearance of lesions. A skin biopsy may be required in atypical cases to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions.
- Management: Treatment is often not necessary as the condition may resolve on its own. However, topical or intralesional corticosteroids can be used for symptomatic relief. For widespread disease, phototherapy or systemic treatments may be considered.
- Complications: The condition is typically benign with minimal complications. In rare cases, it may be associated with underlying diseases like diabetes or thyroid disorders.
