A 5‐month‐old boy with a previous history of failure to thrive and poor feeding was admitted to the hospital with failure to thrive, oral ulcers, and a generalized vesiculopustular rash that demonstrated a subcorneal pustule and neutrophilic infiltrate on histology. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy biopsies demonstrated chronic active colitis with granulomas, consistent with the diagnosis of C rohn's disease. Our case represents, to our knowledge, the youngest person reported with this condition in association with C rohn's disease.
