Hello! i was diagnosed several years ago with Granuloma Annulare. I had it for over 2 years and after trying every cream and ointment, it went away after getting a cortisone shot for my shoulder! The strange thing is that i had gotten a cortisone shot prio,r for my knee and the rash remained. Now i have it back after it being dormant for 2 years on my left hand. Seeing a dermatologist and hoping she will try ROM therapy.

      Ug. My dr doesn't want to try the ROM therapy because she doesn't believe it works. I'm at her office now and they are going to try a cortisone shot. I hope it works at least temporarily!
