I wrote a lengthy comment about what worked for me that was NOT tanning beds - I'm sure you've probably tried a bit of it, but here's a few things:
Cold showers, no getting hot or sweaty (cotton clothes seemed to help with this), about ten minutes a day in the direct sun (I'm extremely pale and didn't want to risk a sunburn on top of the PR), no chemical-based things touching my skin (natural products only), daily vitamins and biotin and immune system boosters, liver detox tea, coconut oil (you can drink it and put it on your skin), natural lotions (to stop the itch), and Dead Sea salt soaps (very soothing on my skin, and apparently the minerals are good for you, too).
I've read comments from others who mentioned gluten-free diets and vegan diets and juicing. I made an effort to eat better, but these diets might help. Have you noticed some kind of trigger that causes the outbreaks? Or are they just sort of random?
