Abstract

Background: Dermatologic signs and symptoms can be the manifestations of a single disease or different diseases, and it is proven that some are associated with one another. These connections are not fully understood, but the answer lies in the pathophysiology of each disease. Case presentation: We report the case of a 6-year-old Middle-Eastern girl who presented with two skin lesions on the dorsum of her foot, along with scaling of her soles and palms, face skin discoloration, and areas of patchy alopecia on her scalp. She was diagnosed as a case of acute onset of granuloma annulare with alopecia areata and dermatitis. The treatment regimen for the patient’s scalp consisted of topical minoxidil and betamethasone and three sessions with 1-month intervals of triamcinolone acetonide intralesional injections, which demonstrated modest effectiveness in treating alopecia areata. Conclusion: Granuloma annulare is a benign inflammatory illness with no known cause that might be difficult to cure. The clinical course and prognosis might vary greatly depending on the disease subtype, and associating symptoms and diseases, such as alopecia areata, should be considered. © 2023, The Author(s).
