What Is Granuloma Annulare?
5. Risk Factors
This disorder can occur with anyone at any age. Most frequently, however, it is seen in children and young adults. Women are at a higher risk than men. People who live in Hawaii are more vulnerable to the painful perforating form of GA.
The condition is occasionally associated with other diseases. Older people who have wide-spread and severe rashes that have not responded to treatment are more likely to also have cancer. GA has also been found to occur more often in those with thyroid disease and diabetes.
