    About 30% of people with psoriasis will develop symptoms at tendons, where they join bones (called entheses), the joints and/or the spine.

    These are manifestations of Psoriatic Arthritis.

    Unfortunately, these are often misdiagnosed as most people don't associate these symptoms with their skin disease.

    Apart from the internet, the doctors who treat and manage psoriatic arthritis are Rheumatologists.

    Hope this helps.
