She has Thyroid , kidney , and Sarcoidosis disease culd there be something else going on that they have not looked for.
Get an ultrasound or a CT scan of the black area to see if there is any blood or pus collection. In that case it would need to be aspirated in order for the antibiotics to be more effective. If she is on steroids for sarcoisosis then her resistance to infection may also be low.
