Q:
What are the skin symptoms of sarcoidosis?
A:
Signs and symptoms of sarcoidosis vary depending on which organs are affected. Some people who have sarcoidosis develop skin problems, which include:
- A rash of red or reddish-purple bumps, usually located on the shins or ankles, which may be warm and tender to the touch.
- Disfiguring sores (lesions) on the nose, cheeks and ears.
- Areas of skin that are darker or lighter in color.
- Growths under the skin (nodules), particularly around scars or tattoos.
See your doctor if you have signs and symptoms of sarcoidosis.
