Granuloma Annulare is a skin condition which mostly consists of raised, reddish or skin colored bumps (lesions) that form ring patterns, usually on your hand and feet. Causes of granuloma annulare are not exactly known. But it is generally triggered by minor skin injuries and certain medications.

Symptoms:

- Circular or semicircular shaped lesions on the hands, feet, ankles and wrists of adults, mostly women.
- Skin itchiness.
- Firm but usually painless bumps under the skin, instead of a rash.

Treatment

Self-care:

Applying lotions prescribed by the doctor can help in reducing the itchiness of the lesions.
