Symptom #8: Psoriasis
Some people have difficulties keeping their skin in good condition. Psoriasis is a skin condition that appears as silvery, red scales on the skin and it is often very visible. It is caused by an autoimmune disorder and it is a potential symptom of ankylosing spondylitis.
While psoriasis is a condition in its own right, it is often associated with arthritis. Some patients might have ankylosing spondylitis and psoriasis, whereas others may have psoriatic arthritis. If you have signs of psoriasis along with joint pain it is a sign that you need to see a rheumatologist.
