Kaposi's Sarcoma

Kaposi's sarcoma can cause reddish-purple patches or lumps on the skin, often linked to immune-system weakness. Dr. Maharania examines suspicious lesions and refers for specialist diagnosis and care.

Symptoms & signs

Signs of Kaposi's Sarcoma can vary from person to person. Common ones include:

Reddish-purple or brown skin patches
Flat or raised painless lesions
Often on legs, feet or face

When to see a dermatologist

The problem is spreading, worsening, or not improving with home care.
It is painful, itchy, bleeding, or affecting your sleep or confidence.
Over-the-counter creams have not helped after about two weeks.
