Answer 1

Some people take a daily antihistamine and it helps them a lot. Also, don't bathe in hot water, instead use leuk warm water. Dry yourself as well as you possibly can before getting dressed. Switch to dye and perfume free laundry detergents and fabric softeners.

Answer 2

Try Jojoba & Tea Tree Oil from the American Botanical Pharmacy. Here's a link to the product, you may have to click through a warning:

Look around the website a bit. There's an index of ailments within the Herbal Products Catalog that also list Deep Tissue Oil and a 5 Day Cleanse as other options for this.

Answer 3

..well for patients who can not undergo daily Phototherapy procedures with a machine.. a sunshine exposure is advisable but only for a certain length ( for 2-5 mins or so depending on the case) at 9am - 10am (because sunrays are bad around 11am to 3pm ).Phototherapy is just like sunrays only controlled as to avoid burning and really designed to treat psoriasis.Hope i have helped.
