Sarcoidosis

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.

Over time, "Inflammation" may lead to permanent scarring and damage of organs!

So your tired!

Skin Problems

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.

Neurologic Symptoms

Neurologic Sarcoidosis may present with vision problems, headaches, weakness, and numbness. These symptoms can significantly impact your daily activities and quality of life.

Musculoskeletal Impact

Sarcoidosis can affect your musculoskeletal system, leading to joint stiffness, muscle pain, bone lesions, and limited mobility. Managing these symptoms can be challenging and may require a personalized treatment plan.

Cardiac Effects

When it comes to the heart, Sarcoidosis can cause arrhythmias, heart block, cardiomyopathy, and pericarditis. It's crucial to monitor your cardiac health closely and work with healthcare professionals to manage these issues.
