The treatment for granuloma annulare can be adjusted according to the severity of the condition.
1. Observation and waiting: Mild or asymptomatic cases of granuloma annulare may not require specific treatment, as some cases may resolve spontaneously.
2. Medication: For mild cases, topical medications such as corticosteroid creams can be applied externally to relieve symptoms. Severe cases may require systemic treatment with oral immunosuppressive agents.
3. Physical therapy: Patients with moderate to severe granuloma annulare may choose minimally invasive surgery, laser therapy, or cryotherapy to rapidly alleviate symptoms.
4. Local injection: As another treatment option, local injections can be administered directly into the affected area to help control the disease.
If symptoms of granuloma annulare occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention for professional diagnosis and treatment.
