Perforating Granuloma Annulare is a rare form of Granuloma Annulare which I occasionally encounter in my The Woodlands dermatology and Conroe dermatology offices. Clinically, Perforating Granuloma Annulare appears as red papules with a keratotic core extruding from the center of each lesion. Essentially, the degenerated collagen in the dermis is being extruded through the epidermis and appears as a keratotic core.
