After being on 100mg of 6MP for 15 years, I'm having a lot of skin problems-warts, keratosis, brown spots, premature skin aging. I've read a lot of stories with skin problems/skin cancer on long term Immunosuppressive therapy.
Are there other medications that can treat crohn's successfully that do not reduce your immune system? I tried Pentasa years ago and it did nothing for me.
I have an appointment with a new GI in 2 weeks, just curious on opinions and what others are taking. I'm so afraid to come off of 6MP because i've been fairly healthy for so long. My old Dr recommended Humira but I read the same skin issues.
