“…One patient whose granulomas developed after “silicone treatment” in Mexico appeared to achieve some success using topical Aldara but discontinued its use when inflammation developed. Phonophoresis and allopurinol, which have been used to treat other types of granulomas, have not proved effective 11,45,46…”

Pure liquid silicone may be superior to any currently available agent in properly selected patients for permanent correction of certain types of defects. Physicians who use it, however, must be advised that the misuse of this agent or other materials masquerading as liquid silicone have created a pervasive climate of distrust and a veritable minefield of extraordinarily unpleasant medicolegal possibilities.

“…3,4 For limited cutaneous sarcoidosis, parenteral therapies have been used such as topical corticosteroids, 5 intralesional triamcinolone, 6 intralesional chloroquine, 7 and topical 5% hydrocortisone powder in hydrophilic ointment with phonophoresis. 8 Cutaneous sarcoidosis can be the main symptom and justify systemic therapy because of its cutaneous extension or its aesthetic impact. In addition to corticosteroids, the main oral therapies are hydroxychloroquine, 9 chloroquine, 10 allopurinol, 11,12 methotrexate, 13,14 isotretinoin, 15 cyclines, 16 and thalidomide.…”

“…Some case reports have proposed alternative treatments, such as oral isotretinoin, 5 thalidomide, 6 allopurinol, 7 tranilast, 8 psoralen-UV-A, 9 or phonophoresis using hydrocortisone. 10 However, no consistently effective treatment for sarcoidosis exists. The US Food and Drug Administration approved ALA, a precursor of endogenous porphyrins in the biosynthetic pathway of heme, in December 1999 for PDT for actinic keratoses.…”
