A member asked:
I have psa but not the skin condition, there's a family history of both. do all patients with psoriatic arthitis develop the skin condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Some people only get the arthritis. Sometimes the psoriatic skin condition comes years after the arthritis starts. I am very careful before I diagnose PSA in a patient without psoriasis. For me, a very careful detailed history from the patient and physical exam are helpful in this situation.
