Localized granuloma annulare usually occurs in one specific area of the body. Skin lesions from localized GA are almost always painless and heal quickly. Generalized or disseminated granuloma annulare occurs in several areas simultaneously. This type is most strongly associated with diabetes mellitus. The skin lesions or bumps are smaller and occur in larger numbers than those associated with localized GA, and are often pruritic (itchy) and uncomfortable.
