Psoriasis and Rheumatoid arthritis are long-term conditions that need regular care and monitoring. Treatment usually includes anti-inflammatory medicines, pain relievers, and sometimes disease-modifying drugs (DMARDs) to control the immune response. For skin symptoms, medicated creams, moisturisers, and sometimes light therapy are helpful. Along with medicines, lifestyle measures are very important: maintain a healthy weight, do gentle exercises, avoid stress, and follow a balanced diet. Physiotherapy can help with joint pain and stiffness. Regular follow-up with a doctor (rheumatologist/dermatologist) is important to keep both conditions under control and prevent complications.
