Hello @Zoe1565, thank you for opening this discussion. I'm sorry to hear you've been having some skin issues related to your Crohn's! Let me tag some other members who can possibly share their experience with non-digestive Crohn's symptoms.
Hi everyone, as you all know, beyond the more known digestive problems Crohn's can cause, it can also lead to a number of lesser-known non-digestive symptoms, including: bone and joint issues, migraines, eye infections, and skin conditions.
Have any of you ever experienced and non-digestive Crohn's symptoms? How did you cope with them? Have you experienced any skin problems like Brandijo38? Can you share any tips or advice?

Hi everyone,
Recently I've been really struggling with some strange symptoms and I was hoping to see if anyone else has also been through this... Recently I've been having this weird skin reaction it looks like I have bruises on my legs, except instead of being purple or blueish they're red. They're really painful too. My eyes have also been really painful and red lately so I'm wondering if it's related.
I know that Crohn's can cause mouth ulcers among other things, but I've never heard of skin or eye issues so I don't know if this is Crohn's or if it's something else. I've rung my doctor but haven't been able to get through to him yet.
Has anyone else had something like this?
