The Hidden Impact of Psoriasis: Understanding Psoriatic Arthritis

I bet you didn't know that psoriasis can affect more than just your skin! Here’s how. Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis that usually affects people with psoriasis or those with a family history of it. Arthritis is when your joints are painful and inflamed. Psoriasis, on the other hand, causes your skin to inflame and form thick, scaly patches called plaques.

Both arthritis and psoriasis are autoimmune diseases. That means your immune system gets confused and attacks your own body. When you have psoriatic arthritis, you get skin symptoms and joint inflammation. Symptoms can come and go in flares—periods where things get worse, then better.

Living with psoriatic arthritis means managing both skin and joint symptoms, which can be challenging. Flares can disrupt daily activities, causing discomfort and pain. If you notice new skin symptoms or your joints are painful, swollen, or stiff, it’s crucial to seek professional help.
