Under the skin, during an exacerbation of the disease, small (up to 1 cm in diameter) small nodules — tofi are formed. It is the accumulation of urate salts, which are surrounded by a capsule of connective tissue. Most processes affect the joints. These are usually thumbs (often only one), sometimes hands. Shoulder and hip joints with gout are rare.

If the exacerbation of the disease, then the arthritic arthritic joints are greatly inflated, the skin temperature becomes violet. The patient feels very strong pain.
