Psoriatic Arthritis Symptoms and Signs

Psoriatic arthritis has not only characteristic signs of psoriasis but also some symptoms of arthritis: the joints swell and hurt, the skin around them becomes bluish-purple color. Mostly the joints of the fingers and toes are suffered. The fingers swell so much that they become like sausages. A cold compress can reduce the swelling of the joint for a while, but a full-time treatment can be prescribed only by a doctor.
