As far as I know these skin manifestations are more common in Ulcerative colitis---But, can also occur with equal prevalence in CROHN'S disease affectibg the colon--Crohn's Colitis

yes I agree,

the only skin manifest that can differentiate them is oral ulcers that may be present in crohns but never in UC

FA for Step 1 says EN goes with Chrons and PG goes with UC.

I agree with Cirus.
Both skin manifestations can be present in UC and Crohns! nod

And UC is limited just in colon area.
