On the available evidence there is no indication that it increases the risk of cancer. It is good for the skin also. I wish it was more fun to take but it has been extremely effective for me, and knowing what I know now I would have started on the drug 15 years earlier.

Legally, I wouldn't do so. Not worth the risk - there is a drug (phase III) that uses DMF as the active ingredient. Back to the subject, she is going to have a hard time finding anyone willing to subscribe any systematic treatment due to her previous cancer problems. I'd recommend finding a dermatologist who is a psoriasis specialist.
Long term use steroid cream over large portions of body may cause problems. How much and when is a doctor question.
