What Is Granuloma Annulare?
4. Symptoms: Subcutaneous and Perforating
Subcutaneous and perforating granuloma annulare present symptoms that differ markedly from the others. The nodules in the subcutaneous type are under the skin rather than on the surface. They are not painful. They tend to be small, but they can get to be large in size and often grow quickly. The coloration ranges from skin-colored to pink to red.
Perforating GA is the only type that is frequently painful. The lesions can also be itchy and excrete fluid. People who get perforating granuloma annulare frequently see the condition on their hands and fingers. The bumps in this variety are scaly and small, though for some the individual nodules join to form a larger rash.
