Hi Giacy,
I currently use Dovonex and Dovobet on alternate days, I also moisturise with 100% Aloe Vera twice daily and have been using a UVB bed that was kindly lent to me by a colleague of my hubby's.
After Baths and showers I use an emolient (have used baby oil in the past) on my wet skin which helps to retain moisture.
I can't use coal tar based treatments as I am allergic to PPD (found in hair dyes) which is derived from coal tar and it brings me out in a horrible rash.
Some local salons may have UVB beds... If the sunlight helped when you were in Egypt then maybe this would be something to look into... Just be conscious of the amount of time spent on the beds and read up on UV types and skin cancers (UVB is a whole lot safer than UVA but most beds will have a mix of tubes).
