10 Signs That You Suffer From Plaque Psoriasis (4 of 6)

Joint Pain and Stiffness

Plaque psoriasis can sometimes lead to joint pain and stiffness, a condition referred to as psoriatic arthritis. This happens when the immune system erroneously attacks the joints, causing inflammation and discomfort. Psoriatic arthritis can affect any joint in the body, and its severity can vary from mild to severe.

Nail Abnormalities

Plaque psoriasis can also affect the appearance and health of nails, causing pitting (small depressions or dents on the nail surface), thickening, discoloration, or separation of the nail from the nail bed. These nail changes can be unsightly and may cause discomfort or pain, affecting an individual’s daily activities.
