M09.09: Juvenile arthritis in psoriasis Site unspecified
You have psoriasis.
Your body’s own immune system plays a role in the development of psoriasis. The condition can be hereditary. Other family members may then be affected, too. Triggers such as skin irritations, stress or certain medications can make the condition worse.
Psoriasis typically results in skin changes. Excessive amounts of new skin cells are formed in the changed areas. The skin also becomes inflamed. The areas affected then become red and are very scaly. The skin typically changes in particular on the elbows, knees and the tailbone. The skin may itch and crack. The nails may also change.
Psoriasis has caused inflammation in one or more of your joints. The joint inflammation started in your childhood or adolescence. An inflammation in the joints can cause various symptoms. Typical is a swollen, painful joint. The skin above the joint may also be red. It may also no longer be possible to move the joint as usual.
