Hence, You are not alone.... as I speak from my experience of due diligence... Living w/Sarcoidosis.
My opinion 🤷 on skin scarcodosis in people of color is that its more difficult... complex if you will to recognize. 🤷
Even, with a full color illustrated medical book showing skin disorders/rashes...
There's few or some that can diagnosis skin scarcodosis on people of color... There's a short list ... What comes to mind (Mind the Gap: A handbook of clinical signs in Black and Brown skin).
I've had sarcoidosis rashes of different variations & presentations all on my chest an face only for a straight 7 years that was diagnosed as dermatitis, eczema an rosacea that were all treated unsuccessful; when in doubt its an itist of sorts. I now seldom get a sarcoidosis rash .... skin flare with no predictably as to when, after 7 yrs of straight of scarcodosis rashes... which again abruptly stoped after 7 yrs an changed to less then seldom/hardly ever.
Conversely, Sarcoidosis is comparable for example purposes.... a huge part of diagnosis is based on symptoms, Sidebar.... an leaving out symptoms, an variables is also crucial to a diagnosis if you will.
There so many variables, variants to Sarcoidosis, as it does not effect or show effects the same way on each person; which is complex, plus frustrating for the patient as well as health care providers alike. This is where for me - You are not alone ... is highlighted.
Additionaly, However #random example to my point, is a person taking the wrong pill or cream for impetigo... as an example to skin scarcodosis as it relates to diagnosis & treatment on people of color... that its difficult to diagnosis... which precedes treatment... inorder to treat.... Hence, Noting will work except for the right diagnosis & medication.
🔑 Is more studies an research are needed as how Sarcoidosis effects people of color instead of a some what... general standard of care for everyone w/Sarcoidosis especially as it relates to skin scarcodosis. #Random thought
