Question : Hi Dr., entire body covered in bumps like chickenpox but tests show its not chickenpox or shingles. The craters in the skin are now 1/4 to 1/2 in deep. Soars in the rectum and throat and high white blood cells. I can send photo. Any ideas on what this is ?

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! Dr.Benard
