So I had horrendous Seb Derm last year (first time having it, happened suddenly after a very stressful time in my life - all over my cheeks, eyelids, nose folds and sometimes chin and ears. I'm bald and it has left my head alone mostly). It was particularly awful around Jan-March time here in the UK winter.

However... it magically went away (!) by around June time, which I put down to a topical zinc treatment I started around then UV light and heat. I was literally just using a normal skin cleanser through summer, no other treatment needed. Super happy about that obviously but now it's slowly starting to come back (starting around the nose just like last time) as winter approaches. So I can be confident of my trigger(s) as cold weather and low light - any tips on things I can do to prevent it getting as bad, now that I know this? I'm currently looking into face masks and non-scary looking balaclavas!! 😅

My scalp has been red and itchy for about 10 days now it started when I washed my hair Sunday morning and then this happened the next day it’s mainly the back of my neck and parting that’s red but mainly the back that’s itching I think the itching has improved a bit but the redness dose still seem very much there. I also feel like I’ve been loosing more than my normal amount of hair just when brushing, showering or running my fingers through it. I have really bad health anxiety aswell and it has spiked in the last few weeks so this is me spiralling as I have heard inflammation and itching is a sign before alopecia. If anyone could reassure me that would be much appreciated I have a dr appointment on Monday.

Looking for any tips that does not include corticosteroids!

So my baby had what looked like acne a few weeks from birth and developed to sever infantile seborrheic dermatitis at around 2 months of age. (He is now 4 months) And no it was not due to 💉 as i didn’t give him at birth or 2 month mark and delayed it till he was 3 months.

At first i used coconut oil on him, saw it get worse and switched to Aveeno that had oats in it as i thought it was eczema. I even tried tallow (all bad if its sebderm i know). And he had a very bad flare and oozing so i went to the dermatologist, thats when he told me its sebderm. He prescribed a mixture of cortisone, anti-fungal and antibiotic cream (three creams that i mixed and applied twice a day for 5 days) and reduced to once a day for another week. I also was told to use ketokenazole shampoo 3 times a week for 2 weeks. It started to come back during that week so derm told me to add a cream called resolve plus, that had cortisone and antifungal. Once it cleared up. He said to continue using resolve plus once daily for maintenance.

So i told my doc i didn’t want cortisone he said up to me, (a bit mockingly as it will come back if i stopped). I also found out the creams for moisturizing the doc gave me had stuff that feeds the malesezia yeast!! Which kept increasing it and i had to keep putting that cortisone cream! I tried to ask another doc who still stated to use cortisone.

I refuse to believe that my baby has to use cortisone daily for this! So please help…

I have been reading a lot here, i used sezia.com and found that baby cetaphil doesn’t have things that aggravate the sebderm so i started to use it twice daily, i also put MCT C8 oil twice or once daily. I shower baby every other day using water from the sea for like 15 mins (i live close by), then rinse it off and use a hydrating shampoo that doesnt feed the yeast, but it does have perfume in it… (i didn’t find another safe option). And apply mct oil after shower and cetaphil over it. It did reduce redness but the yeast is still growing… i just received happy cappy medicated shampoo today and used it, so i have yet to see if its effective. Its on babys face (cheeks, chin, forehead), and some patched on body (feet, elbows, hand crease, thighs).

I exclusively BF, and i have cut dairy, gluten, citrus fruit, nuts, soy, egg, processed sugars and foods (i only eat home cooked meals), and anything spicy, so my diet is so clean for almost 2 months now. Please help… i just want it to stop spreading..

Guyz i am using hydrocortisone on my face for years now , and betamethasone for body below neck

I constantly scratch my face during sleep so that scabs happen most often, what to do like what is this acc to u guyz!

Hi all. I'm hoping you'll have some insight into my situation please...

A few months ago, after doing my own research and with thanks to everyone here and all the useful recommendations, I ditched my regular T/Gel 3% Salicylic Acid shampoo - when I started I knew nothing about choosing the correct shampoo for Seb Derm but this one always eased the soreness but left my scalp flaky all over, so I lived with it for years.

Instead I started using Nizoral 2% Ketaconazole shampoo and MCT C8 oil. The change was almost instant, maybe a day or two, and I was genuinely amazed at how great my scalp was compared to how it used to be.

Now I use Nizoral once weekly, with Simple shampoo every other day in-between, and my scalp has remained clear except for one patch (the top of my sideburn where the ear meets the head, and over to behind my ear)

I do purposely apply the MCT oil to this patch after washes, and make sure to target it with Nizoral when I use it, but it remains hard to clear.

Has anyone had any experience of this? Is there anything I can do to clear this last area?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

hello, im looking for hair styling products to use after shower, i wash my hair with dercos and it's effictive atm, but after shower its extremely frizzy, my hair is curly and a bit dry after using dercos.
please recommend me something thats seb derm free. thanks.

I'm still learning! I know sezia and skinsort are great but I have soooooo many products that were for psoriasis (and watched my face just get worse with biofilm buildup) that I cant keep up!

Never had a problem until I was put on anticonvulsants. So many problems, photosensitive, hair thinning and untreatable dandruff. It took years to find out the dandruff was actually seb derm and it is now mostly controlled with nizoral although the hair thinning is not. Over the last few years it has spread to ears and nose. Antifungal cream and clever soap is helping but it never goes away completely. Swimming in a chlorinated pool helps a lot.
