 Welcome! I get red spots on my neck, shoulders and a bit on my chest. Not too many, but don't experience any swelling. I have been trying to figure out what the heck they were for years now. It wasn't until I was dx with Crohn's did I put two and two together. I guess that I didn't help you, but thought I would comment just the same. I hope you feel better.

 i would just like to make everyone aware in here that after 2 days in the hospital and seeing 3 docs that there is something we can get that is related to our auto immune problems i never knew, not to scare anyone it's called bullous pemphiogoid (sp?) it starts like a rash and spreads like wild fire and hurts like crazy, it looks like little ant bites then gets bigger, it's not contagious and by you touching it and touching another part of your body it will not spread,so if anyone has any doubts when they think oh its just a rash but nothing you do can make it go away remember this

 I get red bumps all over my legs. I get really bed inflamation in my skin sometimes. It feels like my skin is hot and swullen. I get really itchy/irratated from it. I often take a very hot oatmeal or EPSOM SALT bath and it does seem to give me some relief. I have used an alternative that did help in all aspects of my Crohn's, but I can not recommend the use it openly.
