Symptoms of GRANULOMA ANNULARE


Granuloma annulare produces small, red bumps on the skin, or papules. They appear domes shaped or flat and usually range in size from 3 to 6 mm in diameter. They are usually non-scaling and pink or violet. The papules that appear on the lower extremities are frequently darker than those that appear in other places. The papules, or bumps, may form clusters in the shape of a ring that can range from 1 to 10 cm. The lesions are painless and usually do not itch. The ring’s center is often darker than the edge. Ringed lesions change in size and shape over a period of several weeks to 6 months.
