They are a type of skin tumour that does not typically spread to internal organs and are therefore classified as benign. (1) They behave like malignant tumours by invading surrounding tissues and frequently recurring after treatment. (2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Why Sarcoids can be difficult to manage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equine sarcoids occur in several distinct forms, and as a result, a treatment that is effective for one type may prove ineffective for another. Conventional treatment options include surgical excision, cryosurgery (freezing), laser surgery, and other veterinary interventions. However, because sarcoids are associated with a viral infection, affected tissues may continue to harbour the virus even after treatment, increasing the risk of recurrence. Consequently, many alternative treatments fail to address the underlying cause of the condition and may therefore provide only a temporary solution.

I had read that the Arc can help sarcoid so had been keeping an eye on it but never really thought anything would happen to it. The area where the sarcoid was has healed really nicely and you\u2019d never know it had ever been there!
