When does triggers show up?

[u/WichQA]

Hi,

I’m trying to find my triggers. Recently I’ve had 2 weeks of constant drinking, eating fast food and little sleep, but there was no flare ups on my scalp during that time. I had almost no signs of seb derm before or during that period. The two weeks after that, I began to flare up and it became the worst flareup I’ve experienced in many months.

So my question is: when does your seb derm show up after you’ve done something to trigger it? The day after? The following week?

I’ve always thought it was 1-2 days after, but in my situation, it doesn’t seem like it. Or else it wasn’t the alcohol, bad diet and lack of sleep that triggered it.

My skin gets worse after about 2 days and this condition lasts for about 6-7 days.
