What is Psoriatic arthritis?

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the joints and can also impact the skin, eyes, and other organs. It’s often associated with psoriasis, a skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches. While there’s no cure, effective management can significantly improve quality of life.

Recognizing the Signs

Symptoms of psoriatic arthritis can vary widely from person to person. Common signs include:
