Lymph
nodes Sarcoidosis of the skin About one-quarter of patients with sarcoidosis will have one or more of the skin manifestations. These range from raised tender nodules in the shins called erythema nodosum to plaques, patches and some scars. A dermatologist may diagnose sarcoidosis from a skin biopsy of an atypical skin lesion. Monthly injections of corticosteroid can be used for treatment of small nodules. The lesions resolve on a temporary basis and on a permanent basis in some situations, but the treatment may or may not affect the long-term outcome. Large or disfiguring lesions may require prednisone treatment.
