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.
