Hi,
The rash is a possible symptom of osteoarthritis but it is not that much common with osteoarthritis.
It’s due to inflammation of small veins associated with OA. If you develop rashes, you have to rule out rheumatoid arthritis as the rash is more common with RA.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
