Hello Farmboy and 
It's said that you can pass psoriasis on through your genes and some do have family members who also have psoriasis, I think Hanna's father has it.
However I'm the only one in my family that has psoriasis. My mother was from a family of 14, my father from a family of 6, they had 3 sons, my 2 brothers had 2 boys each, and 3 of them have gone on to have 2 children each. And none of those people have ever had psoriasis apart from me.
So a difficult one to answer, maybe it is passed down and my family have been lucky.
