      “Zinc pyrithione can in the laboratory setting trigger a variety of responses, such as DNA damage in skin cells.” -Wikipedia. Also, research has shown that monkeys topically treated with ZP have been shown to pass it in their urine. So clearly it is cytotoxic (kills cells) and can cause DNA damage (cancer) and be absorbed by the body. I would avoid it. Wouldn’t be surprised if it contributed to baldness.

      @@Alishba_ヅ Stress is what's triggering it the most for you and manny others, because stress affects the immune system. It's an overreaction from the immune system towards the waste of broken down sebum by the Malassezia living on our skin. You have to figure out why your immune system overreacts.
      Nr. 1 is food intolerances, 2. is other food and drinks causing digestive inflammation, 3. is stress: consistent sleep(!), exercising, walks, sunlight, meditation etc.. If you figure out these three factors you will se major improvements.

    I used to have seborrhea on my face (nose to cheeks area and lower forehead) since my mid teen years. I suspect that it was triggered by a very stressful family event when I was 14.
    I was given a few creams and corticosteroids but it only became worse. My condition started getting much, MUCH worse around the age of 24 and I remembered there were even days when I literally couldn't leave the house. It was extremely depressing and I completely lost hope about life. The most interesting thing was that there were moments when I felt like the burning and sort of a "darkness" is coming up my body and in few hours it hit my face and the condition just became extremely bad. Seborrhea was always there but these "attacks" were very scary. I always compare it to as if you have all the energy and drive to do things, accomplish your daily task, etc. but it felt as if there was an invisible hand that is holding you on the ground and not releasing you.
    Around that time, I went to India (Tamil Nadu) and stayed at yoga ashram for 2 full months. We ate twice a day, only oragnic local food, had a lof of movement, did cca 50 mins of meditation a day. My seborrhea completely vanished and my skin never looked better.
    However, after returning back home to Europe, I noticed it is slowly coming back and even though it was not as severe as before, it was clear to me that either: 1) I did something in India that I normally don't do at home, or 2) I was not doing something that I normally do back home. I came to conclusion that it must be something about the food and since I heard about the digestion/skin connection, I decided to visit a gastroenterologist. They did the endoscopy, took a sample, and after two weeks sent me the result that confirmed that I have celiac disease.
    I had to completely change my eating habits but most importanty - after a few days without gluten, my condition became much better and since then I have NEVER experienced seborrhea in any form again. I used no cosmetics, I did not even wash my face, nothing of that sort. It was just about omitting gluten in all of its forms.
    This is my personal story and experience and other people might get in because of different reasons but I can only recommend to get your gut checked.
    Good luck and a lot of strength to everyone who is still dealing with seborrhea.

    My dermatologist has me rotate Head and Shoulders, Selson Blue, and Nizoral and that seems to work fine. This is for scalp. Also have issue around nostrils so I apply on that area too. Basically I treat for 5-10 min every 3-5 days. Using different shampoo each time. Nizoral does seem to be the best of the three so thats cool to see in this vid. And yes this dermatitis does flare in the winter. I think getting a few min of sun on the scalp helps too. For me the issue has settled down over last few years (am now doing a Mediterranean diet just for health but who knows). I still rotate the 3 shampoos but do shorter treatment times. Great vid and explanation. Thanks.

    Y’all are out of your minds if you think dermatitis comes out of nowhere. It’s a parasite that’s causing it, and treating the skin alone is just treating the symptom, not the root cause of it.
    Anyone who’s got skin issues, I’m sorry to tell you, but what you have is a parasitic infection.
    Not necessarily caused by bad hygiene, but more than likely, and so, if you notice that after eating sugary stuff you’ve got a bad flare up, don’t even kid yourself, because parasites love sugar and acidic stuff.
    If you have such skin condition go immediately do a full parasitic test, followed by taking ivermectin, and then go on a carnivore diet for 21 days at the very least, 0 processed foods, no soft drink only water, don’t even be surprised if your problem is gone.
    This thing is biblical. Back in the old days people referred to any health issue being caused by a demon. You know what a demon is ? It’s something you can’t see that brings suffering. Since the discovery of the microscope we found out that there are very small organisms that live off another host that can cause all sorts of problems, called parasites.
    That’s what it is folks.
    Very person I met who had eczema or dermatitis, I told them to go do a parasitic test they turned out to have parasites in their systems.
    Find the root cause of the problem, get rid of the problem, it’s that’s easy.

    Zinc shampoos never worked for me. I believe most of my issues came from build up on my scalp and skin - as well as perhaps a breakdown of my skin barrier. Here’s what I use now: For my face I use Cerave Hydrating cleanser followed by Paula’s choice 2% bha exfoliant or the ordinary azeliac acid suspension 10%, and a cerave spf moisturizer lotion. (All of these you just use a little to stretch your bottles but use plenty of spf as these acids can make you susceptible to sun). For my head I use a tea tree oil shampoo and a silicone brush to massage the scalp and beard.
    Although dry skin still happens with low humidity environments - it’s much better than before.

Zinc Pyrithione has been banned by the EU, so I don't know what else to use to stop things getting worse.

    i got excited when i read ''cured'' but these are just treatments. There is no real cure, only products to control it. What worked for me is simpler; i noticed mine flares up when i let my face get greasy/oily or i dont shower for a whole day. The fungus feeds off of that grease/oil my face produces and thats when things start to go bad, i now wash my face or shower twice a day to keep my face from getting oily and that for me has worked wonders. Those fancy shampoos and face creams are too expensive for me. i live in a third world country.

    I also have seborrheic dermatitis, and these are information shared by my doctor. This is not a disease, but a skin condition. It cannot be cured, but maintained under control. It gets triggered by genome, more often to men than women. It's more progressive as reaction to stress. For treatment, same medication will help some people, while not others. So you will need to change it, until you find what suits you. Fungus that Alexander is mentioning is responsible for skin condition, but root cause is genome and stress that helps fungus to "do it's work". Other external factors can help progression of seborrheic dermatitis (sun, dry weather, swimming pool, etc.) Treatment requires a lot of patience and persistence. It will not be "cured" with one day treatment, you have to keep on using one type of products until you see the change. If no progress after several weeks, you need to try some other products. And once you resolve the issue, you must continue with skin care products to keep it under control. There is a lot of cosmetic products specially developed for treatment, and lot of them have "DS" mark in their name. Try to find products that have more natural ingredients, less or not at all sulfates, that don't make your skin more dry, and do your best to keep stress level as low as possible. Be more active, in the nature, outside, with people you love and care for.

    I expose my face in direct sunlight for 10-15 min ( neither too harsh nor too gentle sunlight)
    I haven't used any cream or moisturizer for 4 months.
    But i dont know about rainy and winter season when there will be not enough or almost nill exposure to sunlight.
    I am a vegetarian and i avoid processed food , sugar , fast food , much oily food , spicy , and processed white wheat flour ( maida ) .
    Although i consume wheat flour , rice and other things , if u go no or very less carb , how ur body will get enough energy to do work?

    Both Zinc Pyrithione and Ketoconazole were banned in my country (EU), as well as Coal Tar. I used Nizoral in the past and it worked to control the SD, but obviously it's not possible to get it anymore. I haven't tried any shampoos with Selenium Sulfide yet, they appear harder to find.

Clears it up in practically 48 hours and kills the itching instantly. I'll put in on from time to time before bedtime as soon as I think I'm feeling itchy and it prevents a flare up from happening. Give it a try sometime, it's right there on the shelf at CVS and Walgreens. Be sure to get the ointment version and not the cream.
