thank you for the question.
Psoriatic arthritis is a disease which needs to be well controlled. Humira nad methotrexate is a good combination to keep psoriatic arthritis in check.
however the drugs are not known to cause cysts .
the lesions which you are mentioning might be psoriasis lesions which are reappearing in new areas. however nasal polyps might have to be further investigated. Kindly contact your dermatologist and try changing the dosage of methotrexate and Humira. You will definitely benefit.
