Face Sores

Hey There! I'm just Joining this site. I was diagnosed with Crohns about a year ago. Probably had it for at least ten years and haas been diagnosed with IIBS, as I see many of you all have. Every time they did the blood tests the Imflammation didn't show up for some reason, and I'm really not sure why????  I also had colonoscopies where nothing was found....until last summer! Believe it or not I was SO HAPPY TO FINALLY BE DIAGNOSED WITH SOMETHING AS I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY AND I FELT LIKE EVERYONE AROUND ME THOUGHT I WAS SOME MENTAL CASE HYPOCONDRIAC!!!!!

Anyway, back to my question, has anyone had any problems with sores on their face? I get these crazy bumps that are deep and pretty large. They hurt and they last for weeks. They don't pop. I can't seem to figure out what they are and nothing I put on them seem to make them go away.

If anyone can relate or knows anything about this, please respond! I did just wean off prednisone .....I don't know if that has anything to do with it. The biggest one is on my chin and there are a few on my cheeks.

It's acne cyst. You have bad bacteria build up, crohn's can be a case of bad bacteria build up in the gut and it will effect the rest of your body as well. If your a girl you will notice before your cycle a burn of which feels like a yeast infection which is not. You get acne and so on. Cut out sugar, and all processed foods. You can kill the bacteria on its own then eat yogurts and take probiotics. Eating yogurts and probiotics alone without cutting out othe junk will do nothing, so u have too cut out the bad stuff first.
