Treatment varies depending on the type of skin disorder you have. 

• Diagnosis: The diagnosis of granuloma annulare is usually confirmed through a skin biopsy. This is essential because there are other skin conditions and infections that can mimic its appearance, and a biopsy helps distinguish it from other possibilities.

• Course and Treatment: The condition often resolves on its own within a few years, disappearing as mysteriously as it appeared. Treatment may involve topical corticosteroids initially, but these might not always yield satisfactory results. Corticosteroids can also be injected into the lesions, which might be more effective but can be more uncomfortable. Some individuals choose not to treat it, especially if the condition is limited. Phototherapy and stronger immunosuppressant medications can be options for those with widespread disease, but these decisions require a discussion of risks and benefits with a physician.

It's important to note that the condition is associated with some uncertainties and variations in its course, with most cases being self-limited. Consulting with a medical professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options is recommended in regards to Laser Medicine and Surgery
