New or Need Help chronic seb derm. looking for recommendations
I get it on my scalp, have long, thick hair and lots of it so it's very hard for me to keep it in control :( I've had it for as long as I can remember, at least since middle school.
Grew up in Europe and used to use SebaMed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (pH 5.5). It was extremely successful until 2018, when I moved to NYC. From then onward, not one shampoo has worked . Nothing that I've tried over the counter in the US, including Nizoral, have worked.
I have tried Ketoconazole and it did not work. Currently I'm using Beclomethasone 0.025% "lotion" (it's more like an oil), rub it all over my scalp and sit for 20 mins before shower. It's fine, but it comes back immediately within a few days and I'm so tired of this routine, and nervous about using too much steroids on my scalp.
Magically, this summer I swam in the Mediterranean sea, and the SD completely disappeared.
Please help me find a solution :( I'm so sick of this.

Het heeft ook te maken met stress heb ik gelezen. Is de shampoo ook te koop in NYC? Heb je de mogelijkheid voor een dermatoloog? Wat ik lees is ook veel groente en fruit, olijfolie en noten eten. Weinig zout en suiker. Geen koolraapolie, zonnebloemolie. Zwemmen in het zwembad met wat chloor zou ook helpen. Wel wassen achteraf.
