Yes, but: Psoriasis can flare in surgical wounds. This is called koebner isomorphic response or reaction. The topical steroids often used to treat psoriasis can delay wound healing and result in a scar more susceptible to rupture.

Yes: If your skin is healed and not showing active signs of disease, it should heal without difficulty.
