Will Granuloma Annulare Disappear On Its Own?
Question: My dermatologist previously diagnosed I had GA, treating it with injections. I think I have it again and am trying to look it up in medical terms. I wonder if it needs to be treated or will go away.
Brief Answer:
GA means granuloma annulare, you can avoid treatment if is localised
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
GA means granuloma annulare.
It is a chronic granulomatous disease of the skin.
It has been seen that there are always chances of spontaneous resolution in granuloma especially when it is localised.
If your GA is not very extensive and is not causing any symptoms you can wait for its spontaneous remission.

Dr Asmeet
