Psoriatic arthritis: On occasion RA may exist with psoriatic arthritis that is more typical if having skin plaques. Discuss the diagnosis with your physician.

Unrelated: First of all, psoriatic arthritis and RA virtually never co-exist, if one has psoriasis and an inflammatory arthritis, it is psoriatic arthritis. I doubt psoriasis if you have well documented ra. Let a dermatologist look at a rash if one is present one not just an itching sensation. The one exception is psoriasis can be a complication of tnf therapy.
