Abstract

A 5years old boy presented to us with skin colored to erythematous papules which coalesced to form annular plaques with a tendency to spread centrifugally with mild atrophy in the center for a duration of 9 months. The clinical and histopathological findings confirmed the case to be a generalized granuloma annulare of interstitial type. He was successfully treated with topical tacrolimus (0.1%) which was earlier failed to respond satisfactorily with topical and systemic steroid. The case was followed up for duration of another 6 weeks and did not show any signs of relapse or tacrolimus associated adverse effects.
