Suggest Remedy For Red, Raised, Round Rashes On Hands While Having MS

Hello....I am not sure if you are the right person but here is the problem. My husband has M.S. and he has developed a rash (red raised round circles) on the tops of his hands in Jan. of this year. They are still there. They do not itch or have puss or burn. we have been to our regular doctor and Neurologist and they do not have any answers. Next is the Dermitologist but we do not have much money. can you help us? Thank you Terryann

Dermatologist 's  Response
hi, thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, your husband may have granuloma annulare.
-- only way to confirm diagnosis is biopsy.
-- granuloma annulare is associated with multiple sclerosis.
-- here, I would like to know, what drug he is taking for multiple sclerosis as interferon B1 can be a cause for GA.
-- I would suggest you to apply Betnovate cream twice a day over the lesion for about 3-4 wks.
-- if persistent, do consult a dermatologist.
wishing him a good health.
thank you.
