Sulfone treatment of granuloma annulare.
Although spontaneous remission of granuloma annulare is not uncommon, most cases are chronic and resistant to a variety of therapeutic modalities. In our study we confirm the beneficial effect of dapsone treatment in patients with localized or generalized granuloma annulare. The results indicate that dapsone is a useful drug to control or at least to improve skin lesions in the majority of patients.
