So does anyone else deal w/ psoriasis with their Crohns? This past weekend my face broke out (under my nose & on my chin area), went to the doctors yesterday & he said its "acne". I've never had acne before & rarely get a zit. He gave me a peroxide type cream & it burned so bad when I put it on. I called him today because it dawned on my that I had psoriasis when I was a preteen but it was on my heel never my face.

" So have I. I have found that drinking lots of water seems to help my overall skin conditions as well as my digestion.

At least I get these strange dry patches I was told at some point was psoriasis. They are connected to u.c/crohns anyway and creams and water help. "
