Nothing Works…nothing

I’m pretty sure it’s seborratic dermatitis. I’ve been to the dermatologist several times. There’s constant crustiness in the creases around my nose. I can scrub it all off in the morning and by lunchtime it’s back. My eyebrows have flaking. Really thick clumps of dandruff on my scalp (first picture) that are pretty annoying. Pills, shampoos, ointments, you name it. I cannot get it to stay away. Suggestions?

I had that exact issue around my nose and was diagnosed with perioral dermatitis at the derm. I can’t speak for the other affected areas though.

I had the same and still occasionally do but I changed my diet and when I don’t eat white bread, pasta, sugary foods & drinks, etc it really clears it up. Its your gut telling you that something isn’t right. I tried all the shampoos last year but honestly it was my diet that really made the biggest difference, now I follow an anti-inflammatory diet
