Psoriatic arthritis usually worsens over a few years

Psoriatic arthritis

is an inflammatory joint disease associated with psoriasis. The causes of the disease are not clear, mainly considering genetic factors, environmental factors, immune factors, etc. Psoriatic arthritis can lead to joint, skin and other parts of the disease, and even cause joint deformity. Due to the different degrees of each patient's condition, individual constitution, treatment timing, etc., the deterioration rate of the disease varies from person to person. If autoimmune function is poor and treatment is not timely, severe joint damage may worsen in 5-10 years. If the patient is actively treated to control the disease, psoriatic arthritis generally progresses slowly and may not worsen for years or even decades.
