Hi,
Adalimumab or secukinumab are effective alternatives. As per the given history, the anti-TNF infliximab seems to be ineffective for preventing the psoriasis. Consult your doctor for alternate anti alfa-TNF inhibitors like Adalimumab or Secukinumab which are found to be effective in treating both ankylosing spondlyopathy and psoriasis with similar safety profile.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
