Re: Granulomatous tattoo reaction and erythema nodosum in a young woman: common caus

[Guest guest]

Hi Jim,

Really interesting read!

I had a new tattoo done on my back around 4 week before my first EN

flare up, I have quite a lot of tattoos and never had any problems

before but worth asking doc if he thinks their might be a link as due

for another tattoo next month! (All my tattoos are black I have no

colour tattoos)

I've had various blood and chest x-rays and finally told i have

sarcoidosis but got sent for a CT scan on chest neck and liver monday

just gone so waiting for results, seeing speacilists at end of the

month.

Take care
