> If inflammation is high then something is up for sure

Is that really the case? I have psoriasis on my elbows and knees which is caused by an overzealous immune system attacking the skin and causing excessive new skin cell growth (which causes the dry plaques). I guess there is an underlying systemic cause, but most of the (extreme) treatments are about blocking the immune system response.

I think GP meant that if inflammation is high, something is wrong - either with the body, or immune system itself. In your case, it would be the latter.
