What actually causes the skin lesions in relation to Sarcoidosis and why does it only seem to affect certain areas of the body

Has anyone experienced complete clearance of skin lesions and how long did it take to see a change when they first started the MP.

Thanks

Hi Austin, Ive been on the MP now for 1 year this month. I have skin lesions on my face and i noticed them get better, texture and inflammation wise, when i started the the first meds, olmersartan and then the first antibiotic. Now texture has greatly improved, lesions were very dry, inflamed and flakey and hurt alot when touched before starting MP. A few months ago i noticed, not only have they impoved in texture but some are actually starting to fade on some sides. I've gotten a few new lesions since starting but there also improving. None have actually completely gone or disappeared but i think now there starting to show signs of great improvement ahead and i feel that  from the improvements i have witnessed that they will fade away and leave no marks, some time in the near future. I havent yet reached the the optimal level of all antibiotics yet but hopeful will in November and then stay at that optimal level for the next 12-24 months, so im sure i will see more improvement and disappearance of the lesion. Ive also had other improvements too, sinus was one of my worst prob other than lesions for me and this improved dramatically in the first few months on the MP. If your thinking about starting the MP, do it for your health, time is going to pass by whether your on the MP or not. Since starting the MP i have hope that i will get better and witness the improvements as i go along. It does take long and you do need to change you life style but better that then see myself get worst on not do anything and then later regret not starting the MP earlier. See ya. sd.:D

Hi Austin,

Please see Skin Inflammation.  Many of our members report improvements in skin lesions as they progress through the MP, and some report complete resolution, but it can take a while.
