Valacyclovir is an antiviral medication primarily used to treat infections caused by certain viruses, such as herpes. It is not typically used for sarcoidosis, a condition characterized by the formation of granulomas in various organs, including the skin. Management of cutaneous sarcoidosis usually involves corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive therapies. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options.
what does Sarcoidosis on the skin look like and can it only affect the skin?
The skin is affected in about 25% of people with sarcoidosis. This can cause tender, red bumps or patches to develop on the skin (particularly the shins), as well as rashes on the upper body.
If doctors think you may have sarcoidosis affecting other organs - such as the skin, heart or eyes - scans or examinations of these areas will usually be carried out.

Yes, Valacyclovir and oseltamivir can generally be taken together, as there are no known significant interactions between the two medications. Valacyclovir is an antiviral used primarily for herpes viruses, while oseltamivir is used to treat influenza. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before combining medications to ensure safety and appropriateness for your specific health situation.
For difficult to treat (refractory) sarcoidosis and sarcoidosis involving the nervous system (neurosarcoidosis), recent research using biologic medications that inhibit tumor necrosis factor (TNF-blockers) has been beneficial. The TNF-blockers used were adalimumab (Humira) and infliximab.
Perhaps. A lipoma is a fatty tumor but this in not usually seen in sarcoidosis.
Organs that are affected by sarcoidosis disease include lungs, skin, eyes, musculoskeletal, nervous system, heart, reproductive system and other organs. This disease can affect any organ and this usually happens to more than one organ at a time.
