Hi The diagnosis is made mostly on a clinical basis and by a process of elimination. Medical history, physical examination, blood tests, and X-rays of the joints that have symptoms may be used to diagnose psoriatic arthritis. You may use arthralin ointment and beclametasone ointments. Visit an orthopedic or rheumatologist. Take accelofenac 100 mg twice a day after meals for 5 days fir pain if severe. Consult a dermatologist also. Best wishes.
