Re: Re:sarcoid bumps from jessica in pa

[Guest guest]

I have the skin sarcoid on my arms and on my calfs. they don't itch or hurt.

The dr said they will just leave them alone.

just my two cents lol

I get those red bumps on my face and neck, too, but they eventually go away. Most of the time it's best just to leave them alone or you'll just make them worse. Don't itch them. Mine are usually quite painful to the touch. I have to keep the humidity high for my lungs and so my throat doesn't dry up and makes the coughing worse. I also suffer from dry mouth. I have three small fans where you put water in them and then the fan sends cooler air out but the air is also more moisturized. Sarc and some meds dry the throat out. I also use Biotene products for dry mouth. That also helps with dryness. And i chew a lot of sugar free gum to keep the salivary glands working better. Sugar free candies also help coat the throat and relieve dryness. I also have trouble swallowing at times. It's sarc and the dryness... so drink up! Lots and lots of water. Hang in there and take care of yourself. S. 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself" ( 16:24 NIV).

I have to agree that the bumps sound more like an allergic reaction than sarc. However, sarc does sometimes present as small, hard bumps, often red or purple in color. The bumps typically don't itch but they may be very painful. I usually get these on my fingers, head, eyes and neck (confirmed by biopsy)...hope you feel better e.> > From: tracie feldhaus <tiodaat2001@ yahoo.com>> Subject: Re: i have another question> To: Neurosarcoidosis@ yahoogroups. com> Date: Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 8:33 PM> > > Hi e,> This doesn't sound like sarcoidosis.
