Self-Care Guidelines
Because granuloma annulare does not usually have symptoms, it may go unnoticed for many months. If, however, the lesions are itchy, an over-the-counter cortisone cream may be helpful.
When to Seek Medical Care
If you have bumps or ring-shaped lesions on your skin for more than several weeks, it is probably a good idea to have them evaluated by a dermatologist or by another health care provider who can distinguish them from conditions such as ringworm, insect bites, or even Lyme disease.
