Granuloma Annulare Anonymous

A 6x6 cm red circle appeared one day on the top of my right foot. I thought it might be Phase 1 stigmata. 4 months later, and not moving into Phase 2 yet, I decided to see a dermatologist.

Diagnosis : Granuloma Annulare- a harmless ring/circle shaped reddish vascular swelling which occurs usually on the tops of hands or feet, that appears for no reason, sometimes goes away, and sometimes doesn't.

I just wanted to know if anyone else had this and wanted to form a club with me, maybe trade pictures. Anyone else have completely harmless, but random and rare medical issues?

So is that the medical explanation for stigmata?

ppl who claimed they talked to Christ, touched his wounds, etc after he wuz buried in the cold stone cave = the woman at the end of Contact who insists that there are 6 hours of videotape missing. It's not proof it's BELIEF that's the point, fuckers!

to answer the question, ah, no.

I had Pitiriorsas Rosea (sp?) which is like measles all over your body, but not your face. Its harmless and not contagious and quite amusing.

You get it from working in a crap cafe ten hours a day seven days a week and getting yelled at a killion times a day, getting paid $8.50 an hour and subsisting on a steady diet of nearly nothing. Its Gods way of taking your mind off things.

I don't have photos, unluckily.
