Call doctor: Psoriasis can be associated with severe arthritis but it is impossible to tell whether yours is caused by psoriasis or not , Better to consult your doc and get examined.

I get red itchy rashes randomly on the inside of my elbows or knees about once a month. It usually goes away in about 10 mins. Should I worry? Does this indicate a larger problem? I do not have any known allergies
