In some cases a relative may have psoriasis from yet another relative, from smoking, or from stress. It doesn't have to be your mother or father that could pass it, but you can get it from your grandma or grandpa. Anyhow the genes pass from relative to relative ( psoriasis changes your genes ) and affects you.

Psoriasis has a large hereditary component, and many genes are associated with it, but it is not clear how those genes work together.

Is Psoriasis dominant or recessive?
I don't really know but i can tell you this fact: my grandma has psoriasis, my grandpa didn't have psoriasis...none of their children had psoriasis but I (a grandchild) have psoriasis and I'm the only grandchild who inherited it...so, i suppose it is recessive. I believe that if both parents have psoriasis then it's a 50/50 probability for their child to have psoriasis... I read in a newspaper that in a small village more than 50% of the people have psoriasis - that's because they married between them, person suffering from psor with person suffering from psor.
Can you get psoriasis on your legs?
If one member of your family had psoriasis or still has then it is very probably to "get" psoriasis some day too. Actually, a person doesn't get psoriasis because it is written in the genetic information so you can have it since the day you are born...it is not contagious so if your question was meant to mean if a person can get psoriasis just by touching a person with this condition then i can assure you that's impossible...if your question refers to triggers for psoriasis then i can tell you that stress is the most important in the list..then it comes streptococcus infections..in my case, i inherited the disease from my grandma and the triggers were stress and streptococcus infection.
