Question:
Answers:
How is granuloma annulare treated?
Because granuloma annulare may be symptomless, no treatment is needed. The lesions may go away by themselves in a few months. Some may take years.
However, if there are many areas, or ones that are cosmetically undesirable, there are several options. Your dermatologist may prescribe a steroid cream to apply, or inject steroids directly into the spot to help it disappear faster. Steroids can thin the skin and should be used according to your dermatologist’s directions.
PUVA is a special kind of ultraviolet light therapy. It is sometimes used for people with widespread disease under the close supervision of a dermatologist. The major side effect of PUVA is sunburn-type reactions. Other oral medications may be indicated. It is important to see a dermatologist and get the correct diagnosis and the appropriate therapy.
