 Hello -
Chron's can lead to deficiencies of various vitamins and other nutrients (zinc in particular), which can, in turn, lead to thinning hair as well as some skin changes. While vitamin-mineral supplements are probably in order, I would, just to be safe, check with the doctor first before starting such a regimen. In fact, the doctor can not only ok the safety of this, but also would likely be able to guide your choice of what would be most likely to help.
I hope this is helpful to you.
