Generalised granuloma annulare – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/228878740

This form of granuloma annulare typically manifests as numerous small asymptomatic skin-coloured or erythematous infiltrated but barely elevated dermal papules on the trunk and proximal limbs. These tend to be arranged in arcs or rings which may coalesce as they enlarge, leaving behind a violaceous discolouration of the skin. In contrast to the localised form, it is commonest in middle-aged women.
