Can my toes become deformed with psa

  1. Yes. I have developed hammer toes in addition to psoriatic nails

    1. Unfortunately, , yes, the toes can become deformed due to PsA. One of our advocates included toes in an article about body parts impacted by PsA, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/body-parts-affected. And this article from our editorial team goes into more detail about how PsA can impact the fingers and toes, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/psa-symptoms/joints-fingers-toes. You're not alone! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

      1. Yes. I had dactylitis in 3 toes last summer before I started on Humira. While the dactylitis has gone down, I not have a hammer toe in the worst affected toe and I think the second worst is also heading that way.

        1. Not everyone with Psoriatic Disease will have dactylitis.
