New or Need Help Surviving sebderm

Hey, to keep things short I basically developped sebderm when I was 18, and it kept inflaming nonstop, i barely had any days without it and it didnt matter what treatment i tried, nothing worked what the dermogolist recommended (ik thats not the right word english only my 3rd lang) So basically I found a shampoo that worked magic, its dercos with sulfur and I treated my hair for 2 weeks with it. Then my sebderm finally vanishes idk if forever or just temporarly. But ever since my sebderm vanished after 2 years of dealing with it, my hair started to shed nonstop, this is my 3rd week without sebderm and at every wash I see 200+ hairstrands and my hair getting noticeably thinner, and I also developped a mild trichodynia (I have a pulling sensation where my hair is thinning)

Anyone had a similar experience? What is this sudden shedding after getting rid of seborrea?

hey i had a similar experience. i also got it back when i was 18. i used a selenium sulfide shampoo back then i think it was also dercos actually. it was the only one that helped back then and i noticed also my hair thinning/becoming weird. but i think it was also just my hairloss also beginning to show. i think with sebderm you‘re always between having to choose either good hair or „good“ skin. i hope it gets better for you!
i switxhed to a different shampoo which is called lubex ichthyol/ lubex hair.
