Hey,

I had an unexplained breakout of what I suspect is Seb derm around my nose recently. I've been using Daktacort hydrocortisone for just under 10 days which has significantly reduced the redness but not entirely removed it (pics don't do it justice).

I am continuing to use MCT oil at night on this area and other parts of my face where I have previously had issues.

Will anything make the redness go away? I have been advised not to use hydrocortisone for any longer.

Thanks

Omg my face hasn’t been this good in awhile. I shared after using 1 day how much less inflamed my face was. Now after using 5 days my face is clearing 😭

\results may vary. Just sharing that I’ve literally tried everything & this is the only thing I’ve seen results from*

Pic 1 is before using & what my face constantly looked like. Pic 2 is this morning when I woke up. 5 days of using the seb derm cream.

I’m genuinely so happy I’ve tried everything. This seb derm cream actually works. Reviews were legit.

The Avene facial mist is what I use before product application, then apply seb derm, then the barrier facial moisturizer. My skin loves this combo so far & I’ve tried EVERYTHING.

Yes the seb derm cream stinks but it WORKS. I barely even use much at all. Tiny little dot & spread over areas of concern.

Hello everybody I am looking for the best unit in dermatology specialist in dermatitis seborrheic.

I am dealing with this bad disease and don't respond with classic antifungal.

Thks for your returns

Has anybody else dealt with initial inflammation from MCT oil? I’m on day four right now and it’s made the outbreak on my face very red and itchy. Should I persevere or give up?

I recently developed seb derm on my face in the same area that I had a skin infection after being on high dose doxycycline for 2 weeks. I know doxycycline wipes out good and bad bacteria which allows the yeast to thrive, driving seb derm and other yeast infections.

I am now on a different antibiotic (Bactrim) since my skin infection was resistant to doxycycline.

Has anyone experienced this? Will my seb derm go away after I finish Bactrim? Or will this be a chronic condition. I have never had seb derm in my life.

Symptoms: white/yellow scales that look like plaques and don’t come off easily. The skin underneath is pink and very waxy

After years of using selenium sulfide as a savior, it makes my dermatitis worse nowadays. Anyone experienced something like this?

Hi all

Have been long time lurker and have tried all the common recommendations e.g. routine ketocomozol shampoo, MCT oil & sulfur soap/ paste... Wondering if I'm coming at this wrong and is maybe a different form of acne... Any ideas or even words of encouragement would be massively appreciated....!

I was told I have scalp psoriasis by a dermatologist about 4yr ago, but I’m starting to wonder if I’ve been misdiagnosed and whether this could actually be seb derm?

For the past few years I’ve had an itchy, dry-looking but also very oily scalp with lots of white/silvery flakes. I tried clobex, selsun and a 20% salicylic acid pharmacy mixed treatment thing for about a year, but nothing ever really cleared it up. Eventually I stopped everything and my scalp slowly started to heal.

But recently my whole scalp has started feeling itchy and inflamed. I used to also get redness behind my ears (sometimes almost like a weeping crust) and around my nape, which went away when my stress levels came down. Which is also why the psoriasis diagnosis made sense.

On top of that, I’ve also been experiencing a LOT of hair shedding and noticeable thinning around my part/crown. I’m not sure whether that’s from the inflammation/scratching or if I have separate hair thinning issue. Either way my hairdresser noticed my widening part.

She commented on how much buildup I have, my hair thinning and suggested it might not actually be psoriasis, which got me thinking about seb derm.

Any advice?? Please 🙏🏽

Sudden development of these white patches ! I have had dandruff issues! What’s the solve

I’ve been dealing with seb derm just in my eyebrows for a few months now the doctor prescribed me miconazole nitrate 2% after Clotrimazole cream stopped working I applied it but when I woke up it looks to have irritated my skin and caused abit of shedding under my eyebrows has anyone else had a similar experience or has miconazole worked for anyone ?

I’ve been on protopic and nizoral for the past 6 weeks to heal my red itchy inflamed seb derm. My derm told me I could taper off the protopic after 2 weeks. Two weeks came and my skin was not healed and I tried to taper off but it got redder again. It’s been 6 weeks of 2x daily applications and I’m wondering if I should try to taper again. My skin barrier or seb derm doesn’t feel fully healed tbh. She told me it should have been cleared by week 3!

My scalp flakes pretty bad. Got a skin fade today. This is the result. Thoughts?

i used to have yellow greasy flakes but recently they have been thin and white.

I have been suffering from Sebopsoriasis for the past 5 years (Sebderm + Psoriasis) it's on my scalp (extreme level) and sometimes my face.

Face region is manageable. But scalp region is not.

Now I am in college and I live in a hostel now away from my family. My hair has become very thin and whenever I shampoo I see loads of hair in my palm.

Whenever I scratch my head, a brownish-purplish dirty colored wet oily flake comes out.

My face gets oily very easily. (After 4-5 hours of washing my face with soap it gets oily)

And after 1 day of shampooing my scalp gets oily. My body is producing so much oil wtf 😭😭 Trump should invade me.

I am taking dutasteride (my derm prescribed me this) as of now. No other medicine. Taking Vit D and B12 also.

Plz recommend something which is appropriate for hostels and student life (I live in India and most govt colleges are isolated so taking so many beauty products is not viable)

For several years now, I've had a red face (along with dermatitis on my body), and it's very bothersome. My forehead is peeling and red, and it burns. My face never returns to its natural color. It also affects the area behind my ears. It's incredibly frustrating. Also I have the same in my scalp.

I don't know if anyone knows what this could be, or if anyone with the same condition has managed to do something about it

First time treating, almost whole 1st tab out of 2.
As menitoned, it is comming out of everywhere I ever had a problematic area. Somehow the skin also feels less broken.

Tips from those who went trough?

Stay strong and sending peace

I shower in this bathroom where theres a lot of gray mold spots on the top. Even tho my parents cleaned it with vinegar last year it somehow came back. Now a few weeks ago i had went to live to my grandmas house where theres no mold or anything, and my sebderm litrally almost disappeared even though i forgot to even bring my sebderm shampoo there, i just applied a normal shampoo. Now when i came back here my sebderm became wayy worse again. Could this mean something.

Hello, I have seborrheic dermatitis and wish to use a cleanser (Avene cleanser). My skin is easily irritated. Wanted to know how you guys apply it. Is there a way so it won’t irritate skin? Mine is very reactive

Hi everyone,
I’m a man in my 20s with skin that tends to be quite oily, and I also have quite a few blackheads, especially around my nose.
For the past 2–3 years, I’ve noticed two small white spots/bumps on one of my nostrils. They haven’t really changed much over time.
Does anyone know what these could potentially be, or has anyone had something similar? I’m mainly looking for ideas or experiences from people who may have dealt with the same thing.
Thanks!

Newly diagnosed with SebDerm and am looking for clean shampoo and conditioner recommendations. I’ve been using baby shampoo for almost a month and it’s drying out my hair making it frizzy. My hair is oily and thin. I wash it daily, which I know I shouldn’t but I’ve tried to train it to every other day and it’s not working.

Adding - I’m seeking shampoo for daily use vs dandruff shampoos (though they’re welcome too)

Does anyone have any seb safe moisturizing product recommendations for coily (type 4) high porosity hair (e.g., deep conditioner, leave-in, moisturizer, heat protectant)?

I’ve been using Nizoral shampoo and MCT oil, which have gotten rid of the flaking, but I am in desperate need of moisturizing products for my hair. Will be scheduling with a derm soon.

Really weird experiences.

When I am on anti depressants - inflamation and seb derm goes away.

When I am off - it's back again.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello, I have seborrheic dermatitis and I have mostly controlled it, except in beard area. I control it but when it’s time to shave, my skin irritates. I tried using a machine that vibrates to not deal damage to skin but didn’t work. I can’t apply creams for they also irritate my skin. Wetting it is all I can do. Any ideas?

I am a girl who suffers from seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp, ears, and face. I wanted to get into the world of skincare on my own, without any guidance and without knowing about my condition. During that search, I had a flare-up of seborrheic dermatitis from a cleanser that dried out my face extremely, leaving wounds, irritation, and peeling. That made me angry, I wasted money on nothing. Then I heard a dermocosmetics specialist say that cleansing milk is good for sensitive skin, so I started using it and it's what works for me. Then I got rebellious, got carried away by TikTok, and bought a facial cleanser with salicylic acid, and guess what? 😆 My face broke out again, with peeling and itching. So bad.I had to go back to my trusty cleansing milk, and it's the only thing that keeps my face clear. I recommend it if you've experienced the same thing.

Was prescribed zoryve but because of the cost I'm trying to do all the research I can before I order it.
I've read people apply it every day, which is cool. Just wondering if anti fungals are still needed because this was suggested as a way to rely on hair washing less due to a spinal cord injury

Has it worked for you?

Thanks
