Abstract:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mainly chronic unspecific ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have increased in incidence in the last decades. These have multiple extraintestinal manifestations, with those of the skin appearing after the intestinal clinical presentation. These are classified as: granulomatous dermatosis, reactive dermatosis, and those secondary to treatment of IBD, and other dermatosis. This article presents the pathogenesis, clinical approach, treatment and expected evolution of these manifestations.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
