Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment: The Dermatologist’s Role

In this edition of the "Peer to Peer" audiocast series, Dr. Vincent DeLeo speaks with Dr. George Han about the dermatologist's role in treating psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Dr. Han shares his algorithm for evaluating psoriasis patients for signs of arthritis, including nail dystrophy and nonspecific persistent joint pain, and notes that dermatologists should enlist the help of a rheumatologist as soon as possible for a multidisciplinary approach to PsA treatment. He also discusses imaging for PsA and the use of methotrexate for disease management.
