Who uses aloe vera gel? Has it helped?
I bought some 100% aloe gel a few years ago and used it, it worked like a great moisturizer but didn’t actually get rid of anything.

This looks like a solid study from a reputable source, but aloe has been known since ancient times, one has to wonder why this isn't common knowledge. One might even wonder why people pay for prescription steroids, when aloe extract is available over the counter.

Unless you're using cold water showering is just going to dry you out very easily and make things much worse. Lots of people suggest moisturizing; I've found aloe vera gel is most consistent in both relieving the pain and not making it burn after (I've found if any of my spots are broken/bleeding lotion just burns).
The sun helps. Lacking that and a UVB bed, you can try some vitamin d3+k2 drops.
I recently had an explosion of guttate psoriasis, and the sun + lotion/aloe vera + vitamin d3+k2 drops + probiotic yogurt + aloe vera drink are the remedies I've been using (on top of my normal medicine). My recovery has been much faster than normal... but due to the sheer number of different things im using I can't say which is actually helping lol.
