I find adding Bicarbonate of Soda to a luke warm bath helps a bit. I buy a box - about 5ins high from a supermarket, then use about a third or a half, depending on how much water there is in the bath. It's so cheap, it may be worth a try - and I hope it helps someone. Sorry to read messages from teenagers - it must be hell for you. But your life doesn't have to always be the same. It might be that you will find a life in a warmer climate, which doesn't antagonise flare ups so much as here in damp, well house-mited Britain and where you can bathe in the sea. I find sun and seawater helps me. And to the teenager who wanted light treatment - why not ask for a box or whatever it is you need for your birthday or Christmas?
