Self-Care Guidelines
If the lesions of granuloma annulare are itchy, an over-the-counter cortisone cream may be helpful.
When to Seek Medical Care
If your child has bumps or a ring-shaped lesion on the skin for more than several weeks, see his or her doctor or a dermatologist who can tell whether the bumps are due to granuloma annulare or conditions such as ringworm, insect bites, or even Lyme disease.
