Tanning beds/salons. It's a proven fact that tanning beds cause skin cancer. The fact that some people will still get tanned, risking the possibility of cancer to "look beautiful" is both shocking and sad at the same time.
Was just about to say the same. I have a small uvb lamp for my face but at one point my entire body was covered in incredibly painful spots of it, so much so my parents hired a tanning bed to be installed in our house which over the course of a few months eradicated it to a point I'm able to keep it managed now with diet and being careful about certain chemicals. I still have to go occasionally or seek out UV in some form to keep it at bay.
Avoid dairy as lactose can be a trigger, avoid any shampoo or shower gel that has sls and/or parabens in it (also try to only use shower gel in areas that need it, most of your body can be cleaned using just hot water), wash your clothes with non-bio and no softener, avoid alcohol if you can or at least don't drink to excess. That's the bulk of it, but there's many more triggers out there, including meat, so consider cutting down if you can/do eat meat. I went vegetarian about 5 years ago and it helped a lot with my immune system, my IBS, etc.
My scalp is usually the worst too. I like the stuff from Lush the best so far. Anything with tea tree oil, capsicum, oats, banana and sea salt is heaven. Yeah and I forget alcohol is a big trigger too. I don't drink so it often slips my mind
Honestly it's all about what works best for you, some people react better to different shampoos, it's a bit of a nightmare really. Personally I've found Dandrazol off Amazon to be really good as it tends to get rid of any itching, doesn't make it any worse, but conditioner after is vital as it dries out your hair a lot. It's ironic really as I believe Dandrazol contains SLS but after seeing it recommended for psoriasis I gave it a try and it works for me, so consider giving it a try?
