Rash and Crohns :rosette1:Ileoresection-anastomosis 10/12/10. Small bowel obstruction 3/10. Chemo Methotrexate injections, then 6MP.

Understanding the Context

Presently on no treatment, my choice. The rash came in the early spring 6-7 weeks after I stopped chemo. my jaw and right upper eyelid. Hi Emkat I think you'll find that most people with Crohns get a skin rash, spots,sores, or similar, some have reported skin rashes on their palms, at the moment I have bruises all over my legs, is it the meds?

Key Insights

is it Crohns? Don't know, but see your doc if you are worried or get some cream? Also Crohns does manifest itself elsewhere on the body, mouth ulcers and eye problems are very common All ... I have Crohns as well and have been dealing with a mysterious (mostly night) itching on my calves. No rash, bumps, etc.

Final Thoughts

Nothing. Just this intense itching that has at times woken me up. I never really made the connection between Crohns and this in my head. Maybe it is related. I have been using Aveeno lotion after my showers. This helps to a point.

I had a rash like that on my leg while on Remicade. I was prescribed Betaderm. Since switching to Stelara, the rash hasn't come back. I'll ask about betaderm.
