I was just diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis about 7 months ago and I only have a little psoriasis in my ear. I was sent to a rhumatologist and he did 125 blood tests to figure out exactly what auto immune disease I have. I am happy I don't have issues with psoriasis. But dealing with tgis pain and learning everything had been a challenge

How common is psoriatic arthritis without psoriasis?

It's definitely possible to have psoriatic arthritis without psoriasis, though it's less common. Around 10 to 15 percent of people with PsA don't have psoriasis symptoms, or their psoriasis hasn't appeared yet.

A MyPsoriasisTeam member shared: "Everyone seems to have psoriasis along with psoriatic arthritis. I just have psoriatic arthritis."

Some people develop PsA years before any skin symptoms show up, while others may never develop visible psoriasis. This can make diagnosis trickier since doctors often look for psoriasis as a key indicator.

It's great to hear your PsA has been in remission for nearly 2 years! That's a real achievement. If your original diagnosis was corrected but PsA confirmed, staying on top of monitoring with your rheumatologist is important to maintain that remission and catch any changes early.

The absence of psoriasis doesn't make your PsA any less real or valid. Many people experience PsA on its own.
