HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Most of the symptoms of crohns disease are linked to the changes in the bowel.
This means that the symptoms of light sensitivity ,, gum symptoms and pain in the face and hands are not likely related.
Skin symptoms that may occur with crohns are pallor, jaundice, ulcers in the mouth, a skin disease called pyoderma gangrenosum
These new symptoms are related to other issues, you may want to see your doctor to determine the cause.
I hope this helps
