Some cases may also include a scaly rash, reddish nodules on the legs, fever, eye soreness, and painfully swollen ankles. Less commonly, lesions may affect bones, joints, muscles or the heart and other organs. If you recognize symptoms, get to your doctor. Seek effective treatment. Since the cause of sarcoi-dosis is unknown, no known infectious agent can be targeted.
Treatment is most likely to include corticoster-oids to fight inflammation and relieve symptoms.
