Update - in case anyone else is in a similar position!

I posted recently that the derm thought I had lichen aureus - well the biopsy results came back and it's granuloma annulare apparently. I've been put on tacrolimus. Wondering if anyone else with hypo has had or tried this? I'll update in a month or so even if no one has, just in case it helps anyone else down the line. :)

My daughter was diagnosed with Granuloma annulare when she was 18. It comes and goes a bit like cold sores. She is now 25 and has very few flare ups. It clears up with cream.Doctors told her she should outgrow it.

The tacrolimus doesn't seem to be working yet but it's only been three days so I imagine it takes some time to kick in, remaining hopeful! What cream does your daughter use please? Is she hypothyroid too? Thanks for commenting :) x
