Skin issues.

Hey. I am still in the process of being 100% diagnose with Crohn's but the doctors are 99% sure :s. I am just curious if any of you have skin issues? I get small bumps on my hands, not numerous at a time, just one or two small, red, raised areas pop up here and there. It almost looks like the beginning of a blister but never gets fluid filled. It is tender to touch and goes away after a few days. Do you think this is Crohn's related??
 
My hands and feet get covered in a tiny blister like rash which is very painful to touch, then the blisters burst and my skin gets very dry, sometimes when it's really bad I get it on my face too, I have wondered if this is crohns related though I haven't been diagnosed yet? Oh the joys, just something else to contend with lol.

Greetings from an CHRONIE,1973!
these Red bumps = "Erythmea Nodosum"
I do get similar red PAINFUL lumps on my leg shins, typically along the top that's nesrest the bone, not much tissue under them. They arrive on their own & lv the same way.I try make sure wear no tight socks while they're present.Even a bed sheet resting on them is painful. I've read these can appear on the arms too. Typically along the "harder bone areas" vs on top of arm...at least it's how I understand these lil buggers. 1972 y first experience - I had 2 on lower leg shin. I saw a gen practice Dr who ckd further. Called later to tell me "they're related to an autoimmune disease." I wasnt told their name nor hlth cond associated with. '73 appendix out, should have been dx with Crohn's.Disease but wasn't, not much known about cd those yrs. 1977 1 of 2 bowel resections dx Crohn's.Disease. 2nd resection 1986, was by my last resection (1977)... area between Large & Small intestines. 2 yrs ago routine colonoscopy revealed Moderate Crohn's Disease. Tip: it's good to read & learn about the "External Manifestations of Crohns & Colitis. Then you'll be better informed. Google External manifestation IBD = Will list several! B'Bye
 
Sounds like pustular psoriasis. I had it due to me being on remicade. It is slowly going away after being off remicade about 6 months
 
I have had Leucocytoclastic Vasculitis - it shows up as very red, usually flat spots, that sometimes raise and are locally painful, usually accompanied with the mother of all joint pains. I lucked out with a referral to a smart dermatologist who knew her autoimmune diseases well - if you can get a specialist to look at you, do so. She figured this one out right away.
