Symptom #2: Skin conditions

The inflammatory root of the disease can also cause skin conditions to emerge. Some of the most common skin conditions that can arise as a result of Crohn’s disease can include erythema, which is marked by red nodules on the skin, as well as pyoderma, which is a condition that causes ulcer-like sores to emerge on the dermis.

Furthermore, some of the treatments for Crohn’s disease are known to increase the risk of certain skin conditions. Azathioprine, one medication that is commonly used to treat Crohn’s, has been known to increase the chances of developing skin carcinomas. This, in addition to the conditions that Crohn’s can cause on its own, can make for some very uncomfortable dermatological problems.
