I have a small spot above my armpit that is a circle of spaced raised pinkish bumps. What could it be?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand that you are concerned. But the attached photographs (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) are quite blurry. If possible, please send well-focused and well-lit pictures and multiple. As for the attached pictures, and as you described it, I think this may be Granuloma annulare, a granulomatous skin condition in which there are semi-annulare, or annulare raised plaques margin consists of tiny raised papules or bumps with central clearing. Sometimes it can be generalized. This is more common in females and usually self-limiting. If it does not improve, topical steroids or Calcineurin inhibitors can be tried. This condition is not itchy or painful. Also more common in diabetes. Are you a diabetic? Please send some clear and well-focused pictures to confirm the diagnosis. Take care.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com

Thanks for sharing the pictures (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). Yes, it looks like granuloma annulare only. Although it is self-limiting and asymptomatic, it can last for weeks and sometimes months also. So you apply the following topical medication twice a day for two weeks and then follow-up. Use Elocon (Mometasone furoate 0.1%) cream. For the prescription, you can contact the icliniq support team, and they will help you out. Take care.
