ABSTRACT
Granuloma annulare is a relatively common benign dermatosis of unknown etiology. It is typically characterized by skin-colored to violaceous annular or arcuate lesions. The localized form of the disease usually resolves spontaneously, but treatment may be required in cases of intractable symptoms such as pruritus, or for cosmetic purposes. Herein, we report the case of a 65-year-old man diagnosed with a localized form of granuloma annulare that was refractory to various treatments but showed clinical improvement with a combined regimen of excimer laser and topical tacrolimus.
