Other than sharing a term, what do these two conditions have in common? Before understanding the connection, get a hang of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis briefly. 

A little about psoriasis:             

Being a chronic skin condition, psoriasis is a disorder where your skin cells start multiplying forming a layer of excess dead skin on your body. These extra skin cells club on your skin surface developing into scales. Additionally, these scales may turn red and become painful.

Psoriasis symptoms may also include small and scaling spots most commonly seen amongst psoriasis in children. Other than that, your skin may become dry and even bleed. Swollen and stiff joints, along with itching, burning and soreness are some of the common symptoms too.

A little about psoriatic arthritis:

An inflammatory type of arthritis, psoriatic arthritis can affect your joints. It is mainly due to the constant inflammation that damages your joints. These symptoms may flare up and subside from time to time depending on the person. Additionally, the location of the flare-ups might change the location on your body parts as well.

Besides, it can attack more than one joint at the same time. The varying levels of pain and stiffness can make your life difficult.

How are these two linked?

Even though they are two separate conditions, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are related. The prime link between these two diseases is their negative reflection on the immune systems. Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are both chronic and long-term diseases. Psoriasis causes which trigger your condition even more include smoking and stress as well. In turn, they instigate your body’s inflammation response. Further, this inflamed response happens in your joints which cause psoriatic arthritis. The chances that people suffering from psoriasis develop the on-set psoriatic arthritis symptoms while some may develop it years after they have already suffered from psoriasis.

However, it isn’t prevalent that either of the conditions predicts the diagnosis of the other. Many people suffering from psoriasis might never develop psoriatic arthritis like some people can be diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis without suffering from psoriasis. Additionally, the severity of the psoriasis symptoms doesn’t predict the presence of psoriasis as well.
