Granuloma annulare is a benign, usually self-limiting, cutaneous dermatosis, which typically presents as asymptomatic, flesh-colored or red papules, frequently arranged in an annular pattern on the distal extremities. Although localized granuloma annulare is most commonly observed, a generalized or disseminated form can occur. The etiology of granuloma annulare is unknown, however, multiple inciting factors have been proposed. The purpose of the investigators is to review the outcomes of treatment of granuloma annulare (GA) resistant to standard regimens that resolved after a 3-months treatment course of monthly rifampin, ofloxacin, and minocycline (ROM) therapy, successfully used to treat paucibacillary leprosy, a disease with clinical and histopathologic similarity to GA.
We will document the regimen treatment each patient has had and then review the following from the patient's chart to target our specific aims as outlined above.

The investigators reported 6 cases of resistant GA that resolved after a 3-month treatment course of monthly rifampin, ofloxacin, and minocycline (ROM) therapy. ROM therapy has been successfully used to treat patients with paucibacillary leprosy, which has morphologic and histologic similarities to GA.
