Granuloma annulare (GA) is a rare,[1] sometimes chronic skin condition which presents as reddish bumps on the skin arranged in a circle or ring.[2] It can initially occur at any age, though two-thirds of patients are under 30 years old, and it is seen most often in children and young adults. Females are two times as likely to have it as males.[3]
