Psoriasis
Eddie,
While a Dermatologist can readily diagnose and treat the skin lesions in psoriasis, you will want to see a Rheumatologist if you think psoriatic arthritis is a possibility. There is a series of blood tests and x-rays that can be performed to diagnose several different types of inflammatory arthritis.
