Crohn's disease skin sores
Common Questions and Answers about Crohn's disease skin sores
skin
is it possible to have crohn's disease while having none of the symptoms and being on no medications for almost 10 years.
My husband has been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease for about 13 years now. He recently has been diagnosed with Sweet's Syndrome. I would love to talk to a doctor who has some knowledge of the connection between the two diseases. He has been on Prednisone since March and all of the sores are still not cleared up. He has one now about the size of a quarter and has eaten through about a 1/3 of an inch of skin. Will it ever clear up where he does not have these sores?
What are the symptoms for an Crohn's disease? Can it lead to any kinda complication like Arthritis? Anyone can explain it precisely?
hi. i am being treated with shots for a b12 deficiency (which they thought was due to crohn's but was ruled as IBS). i also have hypthyroidism. lately i have been getting small bumps inside my mouth on the inside of my lips. these bumps do not appear to be blisters, just raised skin. after a few hours they go down and im left with a PAINLESS red sore. they disappear completely within 36-48 hours. im very confused about what this is. is it related to the b12 deficiency?
Hello! So, about 10 years ago I was dx with genital hsv-1 via swab and this was confirmed later with a blood test. My initial outbreak was horrible and classic. I have never had a true cold sore on my mouth, ever. However I do get frequent irritation on my lips, and sores inside my mouth. However I also have Crohn's disease and I know that canker sores are a common occurrence in people with autoimmune disorders. I have been on remicade and azathyprine for crohns for the last 3 years.
Hello. I am a 23 female who might possibly have Crohn's disease (my colonoscopy/endoscopy is scheduled a week from now). I do not think that i have any other symptoms of the disease, other than some abdominal fullness, and bloating every now n then, however i have these horrible unexplained mouth issues.
can inside mouth sores be related to Crohn's flares? do gastro illness in general cause these?
My Crohn's disease was in remition until recently. I noticed that when I have a flare-up my face, scalp, back, trunk, ect breaks out and the sores are EXTREMELY painful. Is there anything I can do for this? HELP!!!!!!! My GI doc is going to have me go on Humira. Thank you!!!!
Beka,
Since no one's answered you yet, I'll put in my two cents worth. First, let me say, that I've not been diagnosed yet. Crohn's is suspected, and on Monday I go in for an endoscopy+colonoscopy where they'll perform a few tissue biopsies of the lining of the colon.
What you have _could_ be Crohn's disease. I imagine they'll want to do tests like I just mentioned to determine the cause.
You can have arthritic joint pain with Crohn's.
Hello, I had uncontrolled Crohn's back in 2006, ended up perforating my ilieum in 2007. I was on Asacol, Entocort, and numerous other drugs. Since my bowel resection, my symptoms went away...just as quickly as they came on. I stayed on Azothiaprine for 2 years 2007 to Dec 2009 but have now stopped that too. I don't know if this helps but I eat off the Maker's Diet, which is basically just eating raw, unprocessed foods, organic. It tastes great and I feel better.
I believe you are talking about Crohn's disease. I got this from Wikipedia:
Crohn's disease is an illness that causes the intestines, or other parts of the digestive tract (the parts of the body food goes through), to become swollen, and sometimes develop ulcers (holes). People with Crohn's disease often have pain in the gut, diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss. Crohn's can also cause skin rashes, arthritis, and swollen eyes.
My husband occasionally has oral cold sores. A few days after performing oral sex on me, he developed one. I have since that occasion had two separate instances of tiny blisters on my outer labia with tingling prior eruption, directly beside my clitorus, a couple months apart in occurrence. We are monogamous, 17 years. I have Crohn's Disease and take Cimzia, an immunosuppressant. Could I have contacted genital hsv-1?
Hello,
This discoloration can be due to circulatory problems, heart disease, high blood pressure, lung disease, stroke and carbon monoxide poisoning. You need to get it evaluated in detail from your doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
I have been a type 1 diabetic since age 10--53 years now. Approximately 30 yrs. ago I started having a lot of bloody diarrhea, etc. It took 2 yrs.+ to clear it up and I went for approximately 20 yrs. without any symptoms. When it started up again I was diagnosed with Crohn's and have been on various treatments since then. I have been taking Asacol for years. I have also used enemas--sometimes daily and sometimes twice a day.
I was not familiar with "Perianal Abscesses" so I checked out a couple of sights. On one sight it did say that some people are more susceptible to perianal abscesses such as those that have: Diabetes, Aids or HIV, Crohn's or persons on medications that suppress the body's immune system, such as steroids (prednisone, methylprednisolone), or those undergoing chemotherapy for cancer ..........so I do not think that it is indictive of having Crohn's.
Is this Crohn's or something else? My rheumatologist is considering possible Crohn's with the GI problems that I have been having for the last 3-4 months now. I have intermittent diarrhea and rectal bleeding of no known cause. I have had an EGD which showed chronic gastritis and chronic esophagitis. I have had a colonoscopy which showed chronic nonspecific inflammation.
For several years now I have been suffering from abdominal pain on my right side as well as acid reflux, nauseau, vomitting, constipation and diarhea. Since 2001 I have had several surgeries to try and fix the problem. They include: having my gall bladder removed, two surgeries for endometriosis, a total hysterectomy and my appendix removed. The doctors that I see have done several tests including a pill cam, several ct's, xrays and blood work.
I am curious as to if anyone else had just positive ASCA IgG and IgA tests before they had intestinal damage?? My tests came back REALLY HIGH, IgG was 53 and IgA was 65. I know i have a gluten sensitivty, which i now follow a GF diet and that has helped some, but not all has resolved! I have all the symptoms of Crohn's (arthritis, anemia, loose stools, mouth sores, you get the picture). My doctor refuses to even try anything until i have intestinal damage.
I have increasingly been getting canker sores for the past 6 months. Outbreaks only give me one week of rest in between often lasting anywhere from 3-5 weeks at a time. Outbreaks vary in diameter and number. The sores are located solely on the INSIDE of my lower lip, gums, and tongue.
Other possible symptoms (related or not): frequent bowel movements, loss of appetite, decreased sex drive
I have been to several doctors. Done several labs, blood tests.
How are you? Crohn's disease may also involve the skin, blood, and endocrine system. This could explain your itchy legs. One type of skin manifestation, erythema nodosum, presents as red nodules usually appearing on the shins. Erythema nodosum is an inflammation of the fat cells under the skin which causes tender, red nodules that are usually seen on both shins.
Hi,
How are you? Are there other symptoms present? Recurrent mouth ulcers can occur in a number of patients. The cause of recurrent mouth ulcers is often unknown and factors such as anxiety, oral trauma, medication effect, and hormonal changes may increase the chances of getting them. Also, around 40% of people who have recurrent mouth ulcers have a family history of the condition.
