Brief Answer:
Possible cutaneous manifestation of Crohn...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have seen your medical reports and feel sorry for the situation you are in.
To my judgement, it is a typical pyoderma as a cutaneous manifestation of Crohn's disease you are reporting to be suffering.
I highly suggest to:
- consult dermatologist and GI specialist for further treatment
- run diabetes test
- do testing for HIV
Once again, a further evaluation by dermatologist and GI specialist is needed as soon as possible.
Wish fast recovery!
