Does anyone know of any essential oils that help with granuloma annular. I'm 28 and I've had it since I was maybe 13. It dramatically lessened during my pregnancies. I'm wondering, since your immune system in suppressed during pregnancy, if that had something to do with it. Maybe an autoimmune disorder? Anyway, mine is generalized and quite spread out so I don't know if taking something internally would be better. The dermatologist just told me to apply a steroid cream. Not interested!!! I did try it. It helped a little bit but made me CRANKY!! (Just ask the hubby ;) ) Don't really want to put myself or my poor family through that again. Please reply if you have any suggestions. Thank you and God Bless!

Hi Tiffany,

I have not personally heard of this nor do I have a file on it, but I did find these testimonies online:

My young son was diagnosed with Granuloma Annulare. He had it on his feet and legs, and the ones on his feet were about the size of a dime. I applied a mixture of Lavender and Oregano essential oil (undiluted). I wouldn't normally attempt to use Oregano undiluted on my child, but I did a patch test, and he did fine with it. It is disappearing, and I'm hopeful this will completely resolve it.

Just wanted to add my experience with treating GA. It showed up on one hand about 2 years ago, and has spread to the second hand. Long story short, I don't like taking drugs. I've read about Vitamin E, Emu oil, and/or Tea Tree oil (applied topically) working for some folks, and one person decided to combine all 3 to apply topically. That's what I've been doing for 2 months, and I see a definite improvement! No new spots either! I DO notice that I have to apply it regularly, at least 2 times a day, for the reduction to continue, and 3-4 times a day is even better. The Emu oil alone seems to work, too. I am also taking 5000 mg Vitamin D, plus other vitamins, and glucosamine. I plan to add MSM to the mix, just to see if that helps.
