Psoriatic Arthritis without Psoriasis

Hi . It is possible to have psoriatic arthritis without the psoriasis. I know several people who have the psoriatic arthritis without having psoriasis. Vickie W., Community Moderator

Hello! I too have psoriatic arthritis but do not have psoriasis. From what I’ve researched it is possible but not common

I was diagnosed with PsA about 3 years ago without any skin involvement. My dermatologist at the time told me up to 10% of PsA don’t have skin rashes but they can develop. Just the last month or so I got a rash that is psoriatic.

I don’t have major skin rash but slightly on my palms. I do have ridged nails, horizontal. I think it’s in my genes a lot of the family have
Psoriasis.
