Hello,
As per your case history of granuloma annulare(GA), my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild topical steroid cream like mometasone cream on the lesions twice daily.
3. Take a vitamin E supplement once daily for 3 months.
If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Harshit Bhachech
