Indeed… basically every dermatologist that I know states that no doubt it is inheritable. But since I am over here on the forum I don’t believe that anymore.
Although that they are able to check the DNA and find quite a number of genes that show up with people with psoriasis that still does not mean that it is “only” sticking its head up if it is in the family. The forum shows that virtually anyone can get it.

Also if what I think is true about the origin of psoriasis, that it is starting deep in the cells, that indeed will show that anyone can get it.

Still…. My Dad, me and my sister all have it. Strange enough we all have PsA, my sister combined with a little psoriasis.
Further back in the family…. No one….
