A member asked:
I suffer from granuloma annulare, erythema annulare centrifugum, erythema nodosum, and low igm. are these related or might they have a common cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: These 3 conditions have 3 different auto-sensitivity targets, in the skin. Biopsy appearance is different under the microscope, and treatments are different. The first 2 conditions usually respond poorly to any cream, but are not serious. E. Nodosum can be a sign of a more serious underlying disease, and stronger meds are needed. Please see a Dermatologist for treatment.
