Description
Tara Howard and co-authors present a 44-year-old woman who developed an itchy ring-pattern rash after starting tirzepatide, the widely used drug for diabetes and weight loss. Their 2026 case report adds a skin reaction to the drug's known side effect list, which so far centers on stomach complaints.
The rash, a form of granuloma annulare made of small papules across her upper arms, appeared two weeks into treatment. The woman had no notable medical history. Granuloma annulare is a harmless but puzzling skin condition of unknown cause. Reports tying it to the new metabolic drugs are rare, so the authors lay out the timing and appearance for clinicians who may meet the next case.
