Effects of canary seed on two patients with disseminated granuloma annulare

Abstract

Treatment of disseminated granuloma annulare (GA) can be challenging and there is no gold standard for treatment. We observed two cases of generalized GA that had been resistant to other treaments successfully treated with canary seed milk. Canary seed milk has antioxidant (contains vitamin E), anti-diabetic (DPP-4 inhibition), and anti-hypertensive (ACE inhibition) properties. Therefore, dermatologists can consider alpiste milk as a sole or supplemental treatment for patients with GA with or without comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension, in GA patients who prefer alternative therapy or failed other treatments.
