    TLDR Ulcerative colitis can cause skin issues due to immune system problems.
    The document discussed a case highlighting the connection between skin conditions and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It referenced various studies, including those on skin manifestations of IBD, alopecia areata as a possible extraintestinal manifestation of Crohn’s disease, and the role of Th1 and Th17 cells in conditions like vitiligo and oral lichen planus. The document emphasized the complex interplay between the immune system and these diseases, suggesting that skin symptoms can be reflective of underlying gut inflammation.
