Understanding Behcet's Disease: Symptoms and Treatments

4. Skin Lesions

A skin lesion causes abnormal growth in different parts of the skin. With this disease, skin problems tend to vary. Some people develop tender, red raised nodules, especially on their lower legs. Others have acne-like sores on their bodies. Never pick at skin lesions. It will only make the condition worse and cause infection. Try to keep the skin as clean as possible and avoid too much sun exposure. Apply for topical corticosteroid medicines directly to the skin to relieve pain. A visit to the dermatologist may be necessary if skin lesions become very painful.
