Granuloma annulare is a relatively rare skin condition that often leaves those affected feeling confused, frustrated, and sometimes self-conscious. It is characterized by small, raised bumps on the skin that frequently form circular or ring-like patterns, which can appear on the hands, feet, elbows, or knees. While granuloma annulare is generally harmless and not contagious, its appearance can be distressing, especially when lesions are visible or persistent.
