Psoriatic arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic arthritis and typically occurs in people with psoriasis (a skin condition), but it can also occur in people without psoriasis, especially in those who have a relative with psoriasis. Although there is no cure for the disease, the right treatments can reduce pain and inflammation and prevent joint dysfunction.
