Patients can typically present erythema nodosum, livedo reticularis, bilateral uveitis, and sudden onset of marked visual loss associated with the appearance of multiple lesions in the retina. These lesions may be colored from grey-white to cream-shaded yellow.
The most common lesions are erythema nodosum, plaques, maculopapular eruptions, subcutaneous nodules, and lupus pernio. Treatment is not required, since the lesions usually resolve spontaneously in two to four weeks. Although it may be disfiguring, cutaneous sarcoidosis rarely causes major problems. [1]
Löfgren syndrome includes some of the same symptoms as traditional sarcoidosis, and presents with erythema nodosum (especially of the lower extremities), bilateral arthritis of the ankle joints, and hilar lymphadenopathy. (Note: Other symptoms are classically not present in Löfgren syndrome.)

[ 72 ] The arthritis symptoms of Löfgren syndrome occur most frequently in the ankles, followed by the knees, wrists, elbows, and metacarpophalangeal joints ...

Azathioprine, when used in combination with interferon alpha-2b also shows promise, [33] and colchicine can be useful for treating some genital ulcers, erythema nodosum, and arthritis. [34] Benzathine-penicillin may also reduce new arthritic attacks. [35] Thalidomide has also been used due to its immune-modifying effect. [36]
