Abstract

Mr J worked as a long-distance driver and warehouse manager. He was diagnosed with Crohn's disease after retirement and developed dermatitis of the lower limbs as a consequence. Dermatitis and venous disease led to the appearance of leg ulcers. A friend recommended the local Leg Club to Mr J when he noticed that his leg wounds were not healing. Mr J has become a member since then and often visits the clinic with his wife and daughter.

Keywords: Crohn's disease; bladder cancer; dermatitis; eczema; lower limbs.
