I've noticed my daughter has gotten two skin tags. I believe its since she started taking Entocort, but i'm not sure. This doesn't seem to be a side effect, but i'm not sure.

Anyone else have this....could just be coincidence. Thankfully, nothing else has shown up yet re side effects.

     I noticed I have gotten several of them over the years that I have had UC.  Not sure whether the disease itself or all the meds has caused them.  I had a friend who had Crohn's Disease and I know she also had several skin tags.  She was on prednisone like me.

Anal skin tags are NOT a symptom of UC but instead of crohn's disease (CD can affect any part of the GI tract from mouth to anus, UC is limited to colon/rectom)...unless you've had hemmies which can leave behind anal skin tags---not the same as perianal crohn's skin tags though----

Check out this link....

The first set of pics are of hemmies, the pics below it are perianal crohn's skin tags, if you have what looks like the perianal crohn's skin tags then I guarantee you don't have UC.
