what do you do to feel more relaxed in a flare (Physically and emotionally)

Question

just wondering if anyone has any ideas for self care that can soothe your skin or just in general ways to reduce emotional stress when flaring. i am currently using my steroid 1x a day and putting on emoillient multiple times a day when it is burning. honestly just feel very stressed as it is constantly feeling hot and burning like fire, and i don't think it's helping to feel so tense about it. putting on the emoillient helps me a lot because it feels kind of soothing and calming to be able to actually put something on it as many times as I like, so anything similar to that feeling would be helpful. feeling very frustrated :(
