be distinguished from the many other specific causes of annular erythema including
lupus tumidus, Lyme disease and leprosy. It is characterized by the development of
small numbers of pink infiltrated papules which very gradually enlarge whilst fading
centrally to form ring-shaped elevated plaques. It most commonly affects the thighs,
buttocks or upper arms.;
