The silent symptoms of Crohn’s disease can be detected as follows:
eyes
Some people with Crohn’s disease may already be affected by eye problems.
The most common condition is inflammation of the outer white layer of the eye, making it red, painful and inflamed.
skin
The most common skin problem in people with Crohn’s disease is erythema nodosum, which is inflammation of the fatty layer under the skin.
They appear as raised red and purple bumps that are painful to the touch.
Erythema nodosum coincides with Crohn’s episode activity but may improve with treatment.
the mouth
Patients with Crohn’s often develop “orofacial granulomatosis”, a condition characterized by persistent enlargement of the soft tissues of the mouth, lips and perioral area of the face.
joints
A common complication of Crohn’s disease is arthritis.
It is more common when Crohn’s disease affects the colon.
