Treatment of Reactive Arthritis with Circinate Balanitis or Psoriasiform Skin Lesions

Reactive arthritis can present with distinctive cutaneous features including psoriasiform skin lesions and circinate balanitis. These manifestations are recognised extra-articular components of the condition and are managed through a targeted topical approach.

This protocol applies when reactive arthritis is accompanied by psoriasiform skin lesions or circinate balanitis — characteristic skin findings that warrant dedicated local treatment alongside the underlying inflammatory condition.

Treatment Approach

Topical therapy directed at the skin manifestations is the primary intervention. The complete structured regimen — including the specific agents involved and adjunct options — is available in the full protocol.
