Happy to be a student of the School of Dr. Dray 🏫
Happy Friday everyone! 🙂
Thank You!! Happy Friday to You Too!! Have a Great Day and Weekend!!
Thanks have a great weekend 🤗
In and out of the dermatologist office, every cream, don’t want injections 😧. This was more informative than those who have charged an arm and a leg. Thank you so much. The responses are wonderful too! Thank you everyone 💗
I had Pyogenic Granuloma on my lip! The Dr said the best way to get rid of it was to cut it out. I had 1 month before surgery. So I started to research ways to keep it from getting to big. There was a doctor who had found research stating to use Salt on it and wrap it to get it down into the skin. WELL IT WORKED! OMG so far so good. It took about 2 weeks, and I'm now just watching to see if it comes back. Good luck everyone. Reach out to me if you need more info on how I did it.
Thankyou
what kind of salt?
@@cherylwood3145 Hi Cheryl, I used Keltic Salt. It's thicker than regular table salt, and it worked best for me. Good luck.
@@rubengallardo4534wow! how did you wrap your lip? I have one growing on my upper lip now 😩 so unsightly and slightly tender.. did yours return ever after the salt treatment?? Thanks!
@@KishBish Hi. Here is how I did it. I put some peroxide around the granuloma and on it. This helped dry my skin from any oils and also cleaned it. You want it dry around the area so that the bandaid will stick and not come off. Then get a little bit of clean water and dap it only on top of the granuloma. Just enough for the salt to stick to it. Ok, now comes the tricky part. Place some salt on the middle of your hand. Don't be afraid to put a lot. As your palm is down smash your lip down into the palm of your hand. Hold it there for a few seconds giving the salt enough time for the salt to stick to the water. Lift your face up and look into the mirror. Clean off the excess salt that you don't need around the Granuloma. Now, have your clear bandaid ready. Place it over the Granuloma. Remember, we cleaned the area of any oils, and you removed any excess salt, so your band-aid should stick. I used a waterproof band aid, I think LOL. You should do this at night when you are ready to go to bed. In the morning, take the bandaid off. It should start to look a little white. Now, repeat the process. Crazy I know but it worked for me. Best of luck and let me know how it goes. Oh and IT HAS NOT RETURNED!
This woman is amazing! She cleared my acne. I get compliments on my skin that its glowing! SPF and Retnoid for days.
can u please tell what products did u use?💞

I love it when dr dray explains about medical skin condition. Please share more about skin diseases or treatments 👍🏻
Thank you I just found out I have it. I’m 78. You explained it wonderful. I have Generalized Granuloma Annulare.
any treatment worked for you?
I have always wanted to ask you about a video on GA but thought it wouldn't appeal to enough people. Thank you so much, Ive had GA for 20 years.
I've been requesting this topic for a year lol yay!! She told me that she filmed it in December but forgot about it. I've seen a few us mention it. GA unite 🙋💪✊
I’ve asked multiple times. Had it for years and years.
Thank you for this, I'm had GA on my arms for about 7 yrs. I have tried every treatment you mentioned and nothing helps at all. I've given up and just live with it now.
me too, it’s annoying but i’m over it! I’m 68 and don’t need to impress 😁
I just got diagnosed with this and my first thought was “I bet Dr. Dray has a video about it” LOL.
Thanks this was more in depth than what the derm I saw told me about it.
Love these focused videos on specific conditions
Hi
I have Granuloma Annulare and I've cured it. I had infections in my body. I feel u need to look at the body as the system that it is. The skin will show up any sickness within. I had a severe bladder infection. It was treat with minocycline. I also had a few bad teeth. It is the by-product of another problem. I hope this information helps. We need to stop looking at our bodies as as separate. It is a system. The same as a car. One thing goes wrong and it effects other things. My rash began on my bladder and spread from there. I used minocycline. I also put Vaseline and johoba on it.
Kind regards
Andrea Leah
Never heard of this condition before, thankfully you are here to educate and advice for those who are in need!!
Happy Friday Almost the weekend 😷🍁
Me me I have it!! 👋👋

@@karencarroll4896 oh thank you!!! Definitely!!
Have had it for over 20 years.
Thank you for this. I have had generalized granulare for over 15 years. Because mine was so bad the dermatologist did not recommend the light therapy. (Mainly the price. And that it would just come back.) For years it was on my hands, from above the elbows to several inches below (both). It was also on both legs. Thank goodness it wasn’t on my face although it was close to around hairline and eyebrow. I live in Georgia (where our summers are hot and humid) but stopped wearing a swim suit or even shorts. I would wear long sleeves and long pants even in the summer. Not because I was vain, but because when people see it they think you have something contagious. The only times it has gotten better was when my steroids had to be increased for my lupus. But the only time it completely went away was when the lupus started affecting my brain/central nervous system. I was on incredibly high doses of steroids for over a year. I am down to 5mg/day and it is already coming back-a spot on my wrist and one on my shin. I am NOT advising for anyone to take oral steroids. I have struggled with losing the 35lb I gained and have a decreased bone density, cataracts, etc. I would have never taken it for granuloma alone. Regarding the hydroxychloroquine, as someone with lupus I have been taking that for years and it never helped. My drs didn’t believe me that my lesions were painful. Not all the time. Mainly if I bumped them against something. I guess the areas were just so sensitive? Probably more than the average person wants to know...
I agree, when I bump mine just right, it hurts!
I believe you.
Doctors are not good listeners, and are chronically dismissive. This is the crux in not correctly identifying so many medical issues. There is a lack of acknowledgment that patients are experts on their own bodies. Medicine should be collaborative. Unfortunately, much of the medical community believes they are intellectually superior, whilst the general population are drooling idiots. Many health problems could be more accurately diagnosed, and subsequently resolved between patient and doctor, if only for an attentive set of ears.
Mine hurt as well. When I hit them, it is quite painful.
@@CikisHelyzet and if you happen to be a woman the drs listen even less 🙄
@@GurlzGotIssues no... not listening less, but tired of listening more than necessary.
Thanks for sharing this. I have had this disease since I was 7 years old, and I am now 23. It has only grown larger throughout the years, and more spots have formed. Backs of arms, hands, knees. It is extremely frustrating to see that there is not much medical clarity for this disease. When I was first diagnosed at 11 years old, I was told it would go away on its own within 5 years. This definitely did not happen! I hope to see more updates in the future and more progression for this. Thanks Dr. Dray.
Why do they bother telling us these things? My dermo told me 2 years then proceeded to quote her patient that has been coming to her for 10 years with GA. Clearly there are many many cases that do not resolve. Perhaps we should start with the bad news going forward.
I had got GA for more than 20 years. IT completely disappeared occasionally with pure Berberine for tow weeks only. I hope it will help you too.
Watching you from Iraq
Happy Friday!
I've had this skin condition for years. They gave me the cortisone creme but never told me to wrap it. I've had the injections and freezing them off which worked. My skin became white circles. Once I had taken my cat to the vet and she said I had ringworm. Its always on my arms and I got it around 50 years old. I've had it for 17 years. Thank you Dr. Dray for explaining it so well.
Is your GA gone yet?
THANK YOU for this! I have seen Dr.'s with no idea what it is..
Me too! I went to an endocrinologist today who finally told me what it is and said I need to go to a rheumatologist to discern if it is associated with underlying issues.
I’m learning here folks don’t know if I’m more impressed by the knowledge on the subject or the fluency pronouncing the name of the condition. I’m sure there are some viewers very excited seeing this video posted I’m glad for em!!! 👍🏻☀️☕️⭐️
Hi Friend!! Happy Friday!! I Hope The Weather There is Still Cool and Nice!! Have an Incredible Day, and I Hope You Get To Enjoy it to the Max!! Please You Stay Safe and Well!! Always!! Talk to You Soon!!!

Thank you so much for the information. Very useful to explain the outlook and different types
Glad it was helpful!
I have GA and what has helped me is calamine lotion I was able to get rid of the GA on my forearm within a few months but it did leave scars. I have GA on my left hip going towards my stomach. Some of it healed up but new ones are coming back.
Please join the fb group granuloma annulare support we have over 6,800 members
I just started using calamine spray! It dried it out and caused it to be less itchy! Hoping it keeps helping
Wow! gonna give it a try 👍🏼💗
What an awesome dermatologist to explain it So beautifully!!
Oh my goodness! My daughter had that when she was a toddler and people thought she had ringworm
Catherine Harding I had it as an adult and that’s what I thought too! It started on the top of my foot and it totally looked like a ring worm! The Dr gave me some steroid cream but did not tell me to wrap it tight so it basically did nothing. 4 or 5 more circles erupted on my arms and legs. I was freaking out that one would appear on my face but it did not. They went away on their own. It took about a year. The one on my foot looks like it’s trying to reappear every so often but it goes away within a week.
When I got it I thought it was ringworm also.

Karen Carroll I just joined today👍
Ive had it for nearly 50 years and have learnt to live with it. It has never completely gone away and yes it does itch and is very painful if you knock or bump them. The pain is sharp and intense and feels like a cross between a stinging, burning and throbbing sensation. I have always had them on my fingers, hands, feet and elbows, though I have had some on my upper arm, knees and wrists. I call them creepers because they will flare up, get big then after a period of time will fade and disappear from that spot and re- appear elsewhere to flare up again. I have had years of treatments such as many localised cortisone injections. liquid nitrogen cryo treatments and various creams (and wrapping) including celestone. Nothing has helped and they still remain. I've had Granuloma Annulare since the age of 7 and expect I will have it for the rest of my life. I no longer bother with treatments though I do hope one day that a cause and a cure will be found. And yes, I have experienced much emotional trauma, discrimination and judgement especially because its always been somewhere on my fingers or hands. Anyway keep up the good work Dr Drey. I hope you will update people if more discoveries come to hand. (no pun intended). :)
not meant to be itchy?
@@noclass590 thats what some say but sometimes mine does
So sorry to hear this. I have been dealing with GA for the past 30 years. Mine also itch terribly and are very uncomfortable. I get them on my wrists, ankles and sometimes mid-torso. The ones on my mid-torso seem to only happen once I'm having a flare-up in the other areas and then I accidentally scratch myself near the waist. It happens from the lightest scratch during an immune flare up. I'm afraid every time I have to adjust my pants or clothes. Somtimes just touching my skin in those areas during a flare up will cause a fingerprint or hand print shaped welt that lasts until the entire GA episode dies down. It takes months or more without topical creams and usually weeks to a month with them. So I know what you mean about emotional trauma. I feel like I have to live like a butterfly, afraid of the lightest touch during my flare-ups. When I'm not having a flare up, I can scratch away with no welts and no problems. I've tried some treatments and the one that works the best seems to be using topical sterioids and then to slather a fragrance free oil over the top. The oil seems to create a protective barrier and it seems to push the steroid creams further into my skin. I can't do the wraps as it rubs at my skin and causes the rash to continue getting bigger. I hope you have found some relief over the few years since you posted this. Best of luck.
25 years now - they go to some areas and stay a long time and then move for years later on to another area. No way am I using skin thinning steroids. I had the top wound care doctor in the world do a biopsy and generally he said it's Puva lighting that does the trick. Of course that's only temporary and I never do it because I don't want to expose my skin anymore to even the UVB lighting. I found that a lower acid anti-inflammatory diet plus fasting does a little better for me, but I have had these things plague me since I came home from a business trip and got some kind of wicked illness and two weeks later the rings appeared on my feet and my ankles, and it moved across my entire body. I cannot find a doctor yet who seems to care. I'm glad you're speaking about this. Most of my doctors just shrug their shoulders and say they don't know what it is - here take a steroid. That is not the answer! Steroids are horrible for your body.
ReAnn,
Do you think antibiotics destroyed your gut lining and lead to GA, somehow My husband has had it for 9 years
OMG! I had this condition on my hands. I was prescribed Clobetasol and Desonide and nothing seemed to get rid of it. Then one day, it just disappeared. I hope it doesn't come back.
I have it too. A few spots on my hands. It comes and goes. I haven't been able to associate the triggers and flares yet.
I got subcutaneous granuloma annulare at age 59. I guess I’m a kid at heart AND at skin🙃
This lady is very pretty, and extremely smart ! Thanks DOC !!!
I had that disease and presented itself in my mouth
Happy Friday Dr Dray and everyone 🤗 even if it's a topic or condition that I don't have I can't miss my dr Dray have a wonderful day love to mom and Tybee 💖💞🤗
Thanks for making video about GA! I asked about it a while back and was so excited to see this posted today!
How we can make sure that it’s not related to the cancer? What tests and considerations are required?
I have one on the side of my index finger, It’s incredibly itchy. My doctor used cryo but it came back. It first appeared after I had the first Gardasil 9 vaccine.
I’m so happy to have found this. My dermatologist didn’t know much about it at all! (Time for a new dermatologist!)
Thank you for making this video! I’ve STRUGGLED with GA since age 7. I have only had very brief periods of my life without “spots.” My outbreaks are generally around joints (knees, elbows, knuckles). I had outbreaks in new areas in each pregnancy. As I’ve gotten older, I have stopped trying to treat it and just avoided the sun and alcoholic beverages. I definitely notice breaking out and hot/itchiness if I have any current spots with the consumption of any alcohol, but particularly vodka. 😓

For tow weeks only
About 10 years ago I was told the red bump on the back of my hand was Granuloma Anulaire. It went away on it's own. But over the years it returns then disappears again. It has always been only one bump. Now I have about 10. I see my dermatologist next week.
any update?
My toddler suffer from that in her hand it even bleed, they just have her an antibacterial zinc ointment. Now she is better, but is hard to keep her from scratching
try to distract her from it but if that does not work use socks on her hands
That sounds more like eczema.

Happy Friday!
Hi Dr. Dray, can you please make a video about skin tags.
DR DRAY: Uploads a video
Everyone : I am Speed!!!!!!!!
I had a dermatologist try to put me on Remicade, at $120,000 a year, for the rest of my life. Fortunately, my insurance said no. I say fortunately because when i looked it up, all the side effects were much worse; from tuberculosis to lupus to cancer.
Thank you very much!! I have the generalized.
Very interesting. I've never heard if this. I'm always learning something new from you. Happy Friday, Dr Dray! Have a lovely evening. 💚
Thanks for doing this video! I had one a few years ago on the back of my calf. I put an ointment from the dermatologist on it every day for many many months. Eventually I got tired if doing that because it wasn't making any difference. After about a year and a half or so it just went away on its own and I had nothing for about a year. Now, a couple if weeks ago I noticed another one starting to form in the middle of my chest low down just where the top of my stomach starts. I hope it goes away quickly and doesn't get too big.
Hi Dr. Dray, can you share the sunscreen you’re wearing here? Your skin is very smooth and matte👌🏻
Thank you this helped a lot I went to the dermatologist yesterday (I am 13) and I had had what looked like what you described as localized and they did a biopsy and gave me stitches but they think that I have localized granular and this helped explain what it actually is. So thank you so much
Thank You Sooo Much for a Perfect Video as Always!! Loved It!! Sending Love and Hugs Always!! XOxoxoxo!!
Thank you 🙏 for this useful information
I will be 68 in a few days and I suddenly got GA when I was about 62. However, mine looks like deep bruising on the upper and lower legs. It never looks like the "ringworm" or "bumpy" type of GA. I have had it come up suddenly and look so severe that it looked like I was in a car wreck or beaten up. I have also had a few places show up that are a pale purple bruise looking area. I have had biopsies of it and it always comes back confirmed to be GA. I wish I could upload a picture of it to show people that it doesn't always look like bumps and can definitely look like bruises. It just comes and goes and nothing has helped. I do notice that if I get under severe stress that it can show up suddenly and fiercely.
Mine just suddenly appeared on the back of one hand and it does appear more bruise-like, without many bumps, but more like darker skin-tone indentations. Mine sometimes burns, especially after doing dishes.
Hi my GA sounds like yours. It just suddenly appeared at age 61. It started on my lower back then later on my hips legs and stomach. Never bothers me it just looks like I've been beat up...bruising
I haven't gotten any pokes but it happened to me after everyone else started getting poked 2 summers ago. Now I have circular raised pink skin that looks like scars on both hands. It's ugly (thankfully doesnt hurt or itch) & I try to hide it by wearing long sleeves with thumbholes. Are people shedding?
Watching fron Jordan..
Very informative. The perforating variety may be what my adult son has on the back of the hand. He thought it might be gout. His MD ruled this out. Time for a Derm visit! 🙏🏻
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation...
Dear Dray, you don’t know how much you helped me. Recently my mom has diagnosed by annular that based on your explanation it is more like perforating one. The last year we lost my dad and my mom’s disease has started! We don’t why exactly and don’t know what to do also! I’m living far from my mom and my heart is breaking… First it’s on her hands but today I saw a part of her face and neck has involved too😞😞😞
Thank you so much for sharing information about this disease but I wish you explained perforating one too! What treatments can answer better for that?
It seems that some granuloma annulare are associated with thyroid / autoimmune issues (?) i.e. Hashimoto's
a lot of autoimmune diseases are associated w each other! :(
Did you go to a specific type of doctor to determine correlation? I am trying to find the right type of doctor to handle this!
It does, per my dermatologist, when I was diagnosed.
Yep for me it started with a doctor thinking I had ring worm went to another doctor diagnosed me with GA and thyroid disease that was 3 years ago I have it all over my body now. Treatments are expensive and may not work so I just live with it. Have come to terms there's nothing I can do about it.
The thyroid connection is interesting to me. I have had a growing Granuloma annulare for 4 years. It’s on my left shoulder. Oddly enough I was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Makes me wonder if there is a connection?
Can anything be done for the large scars left by granuloma annularae?
Silicone sheets
I think you are adorable and so smart! Great video as always.
Can you speak about seborrheic keratosis?
I would like to just throw this out there... I'm one of the worst cases my doctor's have said they've ever seen or heard of... I have PCOS so my hormones are crazy and I may have insulin issues... When I got pregnant mine completely cleared up and went away. After I had my baby, it came back with a vengeance. My sister got the birth control implant in her arm and she got it pretty bad on her stomach and sides, when she had her birth control taken out, it completely cleared up. I do wonder if it could be related to hormonal issues/disorders.
I guess that it could
I've had GA for 48 years, since I was 11. It disappears with pregnancy (4 babies over a 18 year span). Also it disappears while on birth control. I've read this disappears from other people with the same. Has anyone checked into it? Vitamin E, HCQ, cortisone over the years has no affect on it. The only thing that has worked was Humira. I would be happy to be a test patient if anyone is interested to find out the cause.
This was the best explanation I’ve heard so far. My body completely broken out a year ago. I gave generalized. Steroid injections are working for me. I’m wondering if that has anything to do with nerves, spots can show up identical on each side of the body.
Could you get rid of that?
I find that my generalized is triggered by stress in the body. My hand had a ring when I had trigger finger. I used to use tanning beds also.
I think so to(stress related), I got GA over a yr ago. I was extremely stressed at the time it popped out on my hands.
Hi Dr. Dray, I love watching your videos and learning from them! I was wondering if you could review the brand Zeriod which is a fragrance free skincare brand popular in Korea
Thank you so much dr dray! You really are helping people so much. I have such love for you 🥰
I have this condition for a year now, started off as one now many , My dermatologist told me the the same exact thing you are saying ..They are stating me off with the shots under the skin of each of them ,and prescribed nicotinamide 500mg 2x a day some patients have done very well on this supplement but no known treatment as of this day is a cure. Thank you so much for all your videos
Is your GA gone yet? Has the nicotinamide helped much
Happy weekend Dr Dray...see you tomorrow x💙🤩
mine showed up a month after a tetanus shot that included an inoculation against the whooping cough. it was going round in 2011? 2012? and so i ok'd the shot. its been a nightmare for about 12 years, my hands are full of rings the size of dimes, to bracelets. they show up and slowly go away but are always replaced by new ones and their life cycles are about 2 years each.
Happy Friday!
Thank You!! Happy Friday to You Too!! Have a Great Day!!
So appreciate this video. Almost immediately after steroid injection treatment on my arms, it appeared on my hands. I've been using steroid cream but was never told to cover with bandages. I am going to try your suggestion to see if that makes a difference. Thank you.
Did it make a difference and go away?
I’ve been dealing with this for about 10 months now. It makes me cry it’s so itchy and the rings just spread. I try not to scratch but it’s sensitive. Idk what to do. I did research and I know this what I have but the clinic said it’s hives. I know it’s not. I don’t want this. It’s so embarrassing all over my legs. 😭
I'm curious your take on pantothenic-acid supplement to help with acne. And if there is a specific brand or something to look out for before purchasing.
Thank you Dr.Dray
My granuloma annulare started about 2 years. I did go a dermatologist to get it confirmed. Look up the Yale testing. It was only 5 patients but it gives hope.
Mine is on my hands and arms, the ones on my hands if I knock them at all they are very painful, I am waiting for an appointment at the hospital, my mum has the same thing is it hereditary?
I had a friend with HES with skin involvement that no treatment worked. I found an obscure reference to use of PUVA and suggested it to him. He finally tried it and it cleared up!
What is PUVA?
I wish you a wonderful weekend! I don't have this condition but you were, as always, very thorough.
I have a small doubt... could you please help me out....If i have to select between THD 5%( Ascorbic acid derivative)+ 10% L ascorbic+ Hyaluronic acid And Ethyl ascorbate +Ferulic acid+Hyaluronic acid+ vitamin E ..... which one to prefer??
Thank you Dr. Dray! I'm curious, what do you think that patients can do to try to self-advocate for more research and attention from the medical & pharmaceutical community? I'm in a Facebook group 5000+ GA patients, most of which haven't had successful treatment, nor has it gone away after 2 years for most :( Thanks for any thoughts!
it's 8,000 people now. 😥
Is your GA gone yet? Any cures out there
I have had it for 6ish years now and nothing has worked. I have tried lots of things over the years. Currently I am trying niacinimide and putting on it, and I'm going to try a different type soon. I just started putting on something called miracell mixed with some other oils. I might be looking into lasers as well. Ive had this since 4th/5th grade and now I am in 11th grade. Ive struggled with this my whole entire life. Ive had countless dirty looks over years thinking I was some mutant.
Hormonal issues run in the family as well. Thyroid and diabetes run in the family as well.
I had it on both forearms - just below the elbows for years. Topical treatments did nothing. I was given a Kenalog injection that caused awful side effects & didn't do a darn thing to get ride of the granuloma annulare. It didn't clear up until after a thyroidectomy and going gluten free - as my antibodies were really high.
Ana Orellana It was TPOab. After thyroidectomy for cancer & going gluten free my numbers were normal within 4 months. Odd that the granulomas disappeared too
Ohhh so interesting! I have GA and wonder what else might be going on.
Carol, Is your GA still gone and do you think that it might've been due to the antibiotics that you take before or after surgery or the thyroid meds you probably take now
@@KJB0001 GA is still gone! I take Armour thyroid. I have antibodies tested once a year and they are still non existent.
@@carolanderson4139 Thanks!!!
Hello. I GA also. I pray I can get rid of it. please help me with this..
Would you do a video on treating the discoloration from bruises?
Vitamin C serum, tumeric paste may help.
Thank you Dr. Dray! Very interesting subject matter
THANK YOU
Thank you for this video. I've been struggling with this for about 3yrs now. Steroid creams help but it does return. I'm a massage therapist and unfortunately the oils I have to use irrate it and cause flare ups. It's very frustrating 😞
Please join the FB group Granuloma Annulare Support we have over 5,600 members
Is your GA gone yet?
Could you please help us concerning dark armpit resulting from the use of perfumes.... it has been a year now..., i used peeling agent at the dermatologist darkened the are a bit more as i noticed.... as i started natural remedies, it get a little better but never like before
What if you have old filler lump from 8 year old tear trough filler. Been dissolved twice. Nothing 😢
How I get rid of the scars left on my thigh?
just realized i was getting medical advice from dr dray
Thanks as always for the comprehensive explanations! Would you please speak to the use of Promiseb vs. Elidel in seborrheic dermatitis on the face (eyebrows, folds between nose and mouth)? Hesitant to try elidel because of unsure relation to subsequent cancer from sun exposure. But, Promiseb does not list any active ingredient....so, how does it help? Thanks, Dr. Dray!
I have been prescribed the drug Depsone for the treatment of this ugly rash. They call it disseminated granuloma annulare. I was shocked to read this drug is primarily prescribed for leprosy and lupus. It has not come in yet at the pharmacy and I'm researching it as much as I can find! February 23. 2023!
Corrected spelling of the antibiotic Dapsone! I'm prescribed a 100 mg tablet daily! 3 weeks into a month's supply no response is apparent!
Hello dr dray. Please what treatment can you suggest for acne as i have used many products like (caladerm, rilastil, eryfluid, bio nike, la roche posay etc) and I have no results. Happy Friday ! 🙏🙏🌹🌹
@Alesio Duraj Dr Dray has many videos on acne that include product recommendations, which you may find very helpful. She does not provide medical/treatment advice on social media per the disclaimer in the description box. Best to see a dermatologist or other healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Good luck. 🍀👍
@@jt8142 I understand . I will go at a dermatologist in my country . Thank you for your answer ! I wish you to have e nice time !!!
Dr Day can you Q&A on sabascious hyperplasia thank you
I was diagnosed with Majocchi Granuloma, which I'm being treated for. I don't know if it's ine of the three that you mentioned. But i am curious. Would you happen to know anything about this granuloma? I hear it's rare.

Happy Friday! Possible genetic association
@@DrDrayzday ok

My sister and I have it. She has AI’s and I have none. Hoping one day someone will have a Eureka moment and find a safe cure.
