Sarcoid can manifest itself in many body parts. My husband has lung sarcoid and suffered for years with a large patch on his leg that nobody could figure out what it was. There are many treatments for skin sarcoid that are generally patient specific. What does your doctor advise? There are many creams, corticosteroids, laser, antibiotics, biologics - and the list goes on. Irene5

I believe the treatment is the same. Corticosteroids definitely help with the inflammation. Irene5
