Crohn’s Disease Signs & Symptoms

Skin Inflammation

Skin inflammation is a quite rare sign which could indicate a more serious type of Crohn’s disease. Keep in mind that it is a systemic inflammatory illness. This means that people with this condition might not only get inflamed parts in the digestive system but also in many other areas of the body. That’s why you might notice skin inflammation and some other associated issues such as sore joints or eye problems. If left untreated, it would lead to erythema nodosum, which triggers painful nodules, and conjunctivitis or pink eye. [10]
