She was recently diagnosed with sarcoidosis several months ago and placed on prednisone. Upon inspection, her physician notices a well nourished woman with telangiectasias and purple red marks on her extremeties. She also has some signs of hirsutism that he did not notice on her previous visit several months ago.
