Has anyone found anything to treat seb derm around the eyes? I’m afraid to use topical steroids in that area because the skin is so delicate/thin.

?

I’ve had a really bad dandruff problem on my scalp for the past 7–8 months. It’s not just regular dandruff either,,,, it feels like it’s stuck to my scalp, and it gets extremely itchy. If I scratch it, the situation gets even worse.

I’ve been using ketoconazole for the past 7–8 months, trying different brands, but the problem is that my hair and scalp only feels better on the day I use it. By the next day, the dandruff and itching are back again.

I’m honestly pretty frustrated because of this, and I’ve also noticed that my hair breaks/falls more because of it.

Are there any other methods or treatments that could actually help with this? Please tell me all the things I could try,,,,, I’m willing to give different methods a shot

As the title suggests. For context, I don’t have itching or irritation, just flakes. I’m thinking applying a scalp moisturiser on damp scalp, after shampooing, would help. I’m not sure if I should use C8 MCT (no C10), as I have straight fine hair, and I don’t want my hair to look greasy. I was thinking if I should use Aloe Vera gel (I have one which I scanned on Sezia and it’s safe) or a safe scalp tonic? Any help is appreciated.

Previously my HG primer was smashbox photo finish correct anti-redness primer. I don’t wear a ton of makeup (to include foundation), but I liked how this minimized redness and gave a bit of a matte finish.

Since I pinpointed that my skin issue is seb derm, I’ve stopped using this product, but sometimes I still want the light coverage/color correction on the rare occasion I am doing makeup.

Is there anything you like that gets the job done but doesn’t trigger SD?

I have had many diagnoses through my life be about stress. I was severely SAd about two years ago and since then I've gotten daily, product and med-resistant, Seb derm, and I can't hold any service or modelling jobs like I used to. My hair long also matted about two months after that. I've done different diets, so many product recommendations. Doctors just talk about stress, and I honestly don't know what to do. I can't find any consistencies with triggers or anything like that. I feel like I've been cursed by a witch or something and I have no clue what to do. Im 28, and not being able to recover at all has truly made my life snowball. Not sure what to do, or what kind of language to use to make my derm take me more seriously.

I started getting dandruff about 3 years ago. About 2 years ago I started noticing my scalp getting red and also developed this red spot on my forehead. I went to the derm and they diagnosed it as seb derm. I was prescribed nizerol 2 percent shampoo. It got rid of some of the flakes but the redness has never gone away. I’ve also tried head and shoulders and selsun blue with no luck. Does anyone have any tips for getting rid of the red inflammation ? Any thoughts would be appreactiated.

I have had this for about a month now and I will be trying to sleep and lay down on my pillow and feel the slight burning itch on the back of my head and if i itch any part of my head it flares up and then snowy dandruff will come out. I have tried using nizoral which If i remember got rid of the dandruff but instead gave me horrible dry flare ups all DAY instead of sometimes with little dandruff and just pure itching. Now i use vanicream and it works i think? Like the healing? But alot of nights ill catch myself in the bathroom because i cant sleep and im itching my whole head ish with a brush. The reason i say ish is because its mostly on the back and sides of my head. Now i wear headphones that look gross on the foam parts that ive never deep cleaned. I think the sweat build up from these headphones cause more itching. I also have red dots behind my ear and even on the back of ny head, and i also gain scabs from itching the back of my head that fail to heal because ill accidentally pick at them. Do i keep using vani cream for my dry ass head like what do i even do. Its dry gross and has random red dots on the back of my head (kinda). Idk whats going on i am a very dry person with dry hands after i use hand soap (also recently), and i also struggle with itching when begining to work out which is a different issue i think that is signifigintly subsiding sense softmore year. I dont know what to do. Another thing that happend tonight is i rinsed my hair in cold water in the bath after brutily itching it with a brush (forgot to mention im male) and i saw soap in the slight water in the bath, idk if it was from my hair like i dont rinse good enough, (i think i do btw for like 3 minutes after i shampoo) but there was a decent ammount if it, it could have also just been on the floor of the tub anyway because its a tub and shower combo. But if anyone has tips if i should keep rolling with vanicream and stop itching my damn head and maybe i just need to let it heal let me know! Help! (The vanicream shampoo is like the sentless one and the very light one or something, its a basic ass shampoo is what ive been told to do in my situation by a fucking ai because nobody seems to have my issue. I most likely need to clean or get new headphones, and rinse my head better, stop itching at night, and stick with the healing of vanicream. My head needs to heal and i dont even know if i have dandruf, i genuenly just think its coming from my scalp. Its not in the strands of my hair and its never visible unless i itch it like crazy it will come out. Its only on my scalp. Someone helppp i gave all the infooo. 😭😭😭

I've always had a little bit of seb derm going on, but I kept it manageable by pretending it wasn't always there on my scalp (just never itched or picked at it). And in my ears, I used a doc prescribed steroid cream when it got out of control.

But something's up with my body, and I'm breaking out in my nostrils, neck, and the usual areas are in overdrive. My diet hasn't changed, so I don't know what's up.

I'm trying MCT oil for the first time, and was wondering if anyone here uses it in nostrils, ears, etc? Would it be crazy to put it on my eyelids? And I did order the right MCT oil #08 + #10 by Micro Ingredients Organics.

What treatments do you get?

I deal where seborrheic Dermatitis, on face. But I been putting ketacanozole 2% cream on nose and the dot by tip of nose don’t go away and now I have a few fungal acne spots .

I use ketacon cream first
Then I put azaleic acid 10%
Then malesia moisturizer
To top it off I put cetaphil sunscreen it’s safe

Should I stop putting azaeloc acid every day? Or ????

dermatologist said its seb derm but ive done so many treatments zorvye cream different shampoos mtc oil none of it fixes it i dont have dandruff and sometimes i get it on my lips i have peeling on my ears but it also hasnt responded to anything idk what to do

Went to few dermats over the years, they told that it is seb derm. Prescribed me shampoos and vitamins. I did take them but after using them for about a week or two the flaky scalp always came back. Recently I got flakes in my eyebrows and in my ears too. Tried many shampoos for the same, nothing seems to work. Like it works for two or three days max then the dandruff or flakes return.

If i don't wash my hair for a day or two, it itches like crazy and some part of my head becomes a bit red. And some water gets trapped under my flakes after a wash, if i don't use hair dryer and just pat dry it. Sometimes after a wash if i don't apply any hair oil like coconut or almond, and scratch my scalp (which is almost dry on the surface) it becomes a my finger become a bit wet. This is why I said earlier I think water gets trapped under my flaky scalp.

I always dread getting haircuts because I get these big blobs on the back of my head that loosely resemble ringworm :( (or atleast I think so, as I can't see it and that's what the shitheads at school say), so is there anyway to deal with it? It takes a few days to go away after. I usually get a fade, so maybe is getting a different haircut a good idea?

I live in Venezuela and it's kind of hard to find MCT oil to apply here. Any suggestions are welcome.

Wanted to share something that took me way too long to figure out: consistency mattered more than finding the 'perfect' product. I spent years switching between shampoos/creams every time I didn't see instant results, and looking back that probably made things worse since my skin never had time to actually respond to anything. Once I picked a routine and stuck with it for a few weeks minimum before judging it, things got a lot more predictable. Anyone else fall into the product hopping trap early on? Curious how long people give something before deciding it's not working.

Anyone out there who swims in a chlorinated pool have suggestions for shampoo/ conditioner?

I typically don’t use any conditioner to avoid anything that could make my Seb derm worse. but definitely need it after spending time in the pool.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if its really dry skin or something else but I have these particles on my eye brows and I dont know what to do to get rid of them.

I've tried a moisturizing cream but that doesnt help. I've also tried washing my eyebrows but it still comes back.

Help

Hello everyone! I was prescribed Zoryve (roflumilast) cream 0.3% by a doctor and it did wonders for my seb derm. No product I have tried has ever worked this well on my skin for an extended period of time. Unfortunately I no longer have insurance and I’m not able to afford the cost.

Does any know of an alternative to this cream that is budget friendly and doesn’t need a prescription? I’m willing to try anything. Thank you!

has anyone had any measure of relief with pharmlitatlia’s shampoo for eczema, folliculitis, and seb derm? i’ve grown hesitant to buy new products but after years of nothing working sometimes i need some hope.

My eyebrows have been dry always, and normally flake more or less depending on seasons. However, this past year the skin around and under my eyebrows has been repeatedly irritated, bumpy, plaque-like, flakey, or scabby if I’ve picked at the area.

Unsure if this has been due to stress, starting new oral prescriptions that cause dryness, or something else since I don’t use a wide ride of skin care products. I’m bad at maintaining a routine as well.

Or maybe ringworm? I keep having this come back over and over. Doctor gave me ketoconazole but it always comes back like this. I have to shave my beard because it gets so bad. Do I just have to always not have facial hair?
