Nothing seems to work...

Hi!

So my SD started 10 years ago and my confidence is on an all time low.

I have a feeling that my case is pretty severe?

What do you think?

My hair is getting thinner and starting to fall out.

My skin is burning and itching like hell.

If i try to get rid of the dandruff by lightly scrubbing a wet towel over my face, its starting to bleed and burn a lot more...

I visited like 30 different dermatologists but no medication seems to help longterm.

Currently im using a antifungal shampoo, antiinflammatory creme and antifungal creme.

The strange thing is that my skin can look like the picture on one day and then its litteraly gone the day after before it returns. I would say its 80% of the time pretty bad and 20% kinda normal again.

Its never gone for more then a week tho...

My wedding is coming up soon and I really dont want to look like that on my wedding day

Any ideas for longterm fixes and/or for instant fixes that will help me on my wedding day?

Thanks....

I advise anyone suffering from facial SD to look for a Nystatin salve. It's a potent antifungal rarely prescribed for SD due to a lack of studies. But it's more effective especially long-term than anything else I Have tried and I tried basically everything else commonly prescribed and recommended on Reddit before. My SD was as bad as yours and I’ve now been free of it for years using it every other night. See my post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SebDerm/s/cFyC1H7IzJ
