Sarcoidosis can manifest in the skin with symptoms like discolored skin, raised patches, sores, and bumps. These skin issues can be not only physically uncomfortable but also emotionally challenging to deal with.
Sarcoidosis can cause many skin problems, including:
Bumps: Small, tender bumps that can be red, purple, brown, tan, or skin-colored. They can be smooth or rough, and are often located on the shins, ankles, face, neck, or upper body.
Raised patches: Also called plaques, these can be smooth or scaly and can appear on the skin.
Discolored skin: Areas of skin that are darker or lighter in color.
Sores: Disfiguring lesions that can appear on the nose, cheeks, or ears.
Nodules: Growths under the skin, especially around scars or tattoos. Scars from previous trauma, surgery, venipuncture, or tattoos may become infiltrated and appear red or purple.
Additionally, When the inflammation affects the skin, it is called ■cutaneous sarcoidosis■ or ■sarcoidosis of the skin■. Sarcoidosis of the skin can look many ways! The most common lesions are small bumps & broad, raised skin lesions/patches.

When You're@Home
What Happens is... Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing abnormal collections of inflammatory cells called granulomas to form in the body's organs.
The immune system creates inflammation to help defend against germs and sickness.
But in #Sarcoidosis, "Inflammation goes off track" and the cells in the immune system; Hence... form lumps, called granulomas in the body.

■Its called Sarcoidosis■
Its not a case of 1st impressions If you will...
As I've I had Sarcoidosis for more then 10+yrs!
My unknown rashes year's ago pre-sarcoidosis diagnosis, at the time were bad! I didn't know I had sarcoidosis at the time; To the point when at a store, people would not hand me my change an every time put my change on the counter! as not to touch me... I wish I had taken pictures back then but I didn't.
The above is a pic of my arm... I seldom get a skin scarcodosis flare but back in the day it was a straight 7yrs. I was misdiagnosed from Dermatitis to Eczema to Rosacea; when it was #Sarcoidosis.. I was shocked when I had this flare last year when it had been years since I had a sarcoidosis rash. Sarcoidosis rashes on people of color may not look the same in medical books an the #Variations of sarcoidosis an subacute on the skin an skin color.
The most common cutaneous manifestations of Sarcoidosis on the skin are: macules, papules, plaques, subcutaneous nodules, LP, scar sarcoidosis, and erythema nodosum. I Found that, Skin flares of sarcoidosis on the skin will hugely vary as to what they look like, especially on skin of people of color.
I have also had the classic papules, as little as 1 or two singular sarcoidosis papules; which I find happened when I was skipping my medication or forgetting. Also, me sitting in the sun for sometimes as little as 15 minutes or more will cause me to have a sarcoidosis skin flare; and as well few days later after being in the sun will cause me to have sarcoidosis symptoms to also include sarcoidosis papules/skin flares.
Fyi: Sarcoidosis can appear on the face in many ways, including small bumps called papules and larger raised patches called plaques:
Papules
These small bumps can be reddish brown, violet, tan, brown, or the same color as your skin. They're usually painless and often appear around the eyes or on the neck.
■Other skin manifestations of sarcoidosis include■
Lupus pernio
Large bluish-red or dusky purple nodules and plaque-like lesions on the nose, cheeks, ears, fingers, and toes.
Maculopapules
Red-brown to purple lesions that are less than 1 cm in diameter and are found on the face and neck.
