The rash that you describe could be due to your primary disease – sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that is believed to be an immunological disorder. The exact cause of the condition is unknown. Sarcoidosis can affect all the organs on the body, including the skin. Long term treatment of sarcoidosis via corticosteroids can also cause skin lesions as a side effect.
