Muscle pain and rash

Hi several days ago i pulled or sprained a muscle in my back and have been in a lot of pain since. Now I have a rash in the same area kind of resembles poison ivy rash. Ive always had psoriasis but its only affected my scalp. Whats going on and can these two possibly be related?

Yes it can.  My mom has psoriasis, and when she injures any part of her body, the inflammation from the injury triggers an outbreak in the area.
