I have heard the psoriasis can cause genital lesions. is this true?

Yes: Psoriasis affects skin, nails and joints. It can involve any part of your skin, like skin folds, including the genital areas. We call this "inverse psoriasis" because it doesn't just involve the typical areas like elbows and knees.
