Abstract:

Summary

We describe an unusual case of generalized granuloma annulare (GA) in a 70-year-old man. This occurred in a photosensitive distribution, responded rapidly to topical and systemic treatment, and resolved leaving residual scarring and milia. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of milia formation and scarring in association with GA.
