Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a long-term disease that causes swelling, pain, and stiffness in the joints. It is a type of arthritis that affects some people who have psoriasis, a skin condition that leads to red, scaly patches. PsA can affect any joint in the body, and symptoms can range from mild to severe. Over time, PsA can cause lasting damage to the joints if not treated properly.
Doctors are not entirely sure what causes PsA, but it is believed to be linked to a problem with the immune system. In people with PsA, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joints, causing inflammation and pain. Several factors may increase the risk of developing PsA, including:
