Is it possible to have plastic surgeon remove granuloma annulare? i have 12, they are coming off, one way or another.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Surgery for GA: Granuloma annulare (ga) is a reaction pattern in the skin--- what the skin is "reacting" to is generally never known. These areas are, in most all cases, temporary and will resolve in 6mos to 2 years. Surgery is not a good option--- the ga may recur around the surgical site, and you will be left with a permanent scar for a condition that will, eventually go away.
