People with psoriasis have a genetic tendency to develop it. If someone in your family has this skin disease, you may have the genes to develop it. Even with the right genes, there still needs to be something that triggers the disease.
Triggers could include a physical illness, skin injury, extreme stress or a particular medication. Psoriasis triggers are either short-lived or life-long. If it is life-long, there are often treatments to control it.
