Hello Dr.wellness Thanks you so much for your information! Im 25 and have seborrheic dermatitis for 4 months now,my dermatologist give me 2% ketoconazole shampoo and there is improvment but i still have those little white material mostly on the edge of my fall hairs(its causeing me a hair shedding!) Can you please help me? What can i do about that?
BELIEVE ME. Accutane really CURES sbd, only after 4-5 months it comes back. I think the KEY of the PERMANENT treatment of sbd is in the accutane. Maybe we must find the right dosage to cure sbd permanently or maybe accutane includes some ingredients which manage the oil in skin and kill sbd…WE must do research and understand how accutane kills sbd for 4-5 months (maybe a big dosage can cure it permanently?), where is the key my dears?. We must understand this. I wanna remind you ISOTROTEIN CURES ACNE ( it was said that acne also doesn't have a treatment because it is chroric,but as we see isotrotein cures acne permanently), and the reason of Acne is also the excess oil of the skin.. let's discuss and understand how accutane works on sbd and which dosage may kill sbd forever.. tell your dermatologists about it and and think together, we don't have right to stop
It's a shame there's no cure for it. I feel like there's not enough awareness about it. This thing is a lifetime inconvenience. It can spread to your face and makes you feel like never leaving your home. 🥺
There's no "cure", but if you put on a bit of head & shoulder shampoo on affected areas in the shower, then immediately after getting out use Avene Cicalfate repair cream, it will stop all flaking and reduce 90% of the redness. Need to do it every 2nd night. Tube of the cream costs 16$ and lasts for months
Since the day I stopped using sugar at all for a month my skin flaking was reduced soo much. That's what I did I thought I should share this for people who have same issues like me
Been dealing with this for 13 years, I'm 26 now. It sucks, it comes and goes. But it's not life-ending, you can still have a good life, you can still go out and have fun even though you might not feel like it sometimes because of how it looks at that moment. Accept it, try what you can to keep it down. If you get low self-esteem, do other things to better your body. No one is perfect, and this is just one of our flaws, you will find people in your life that will accept you for who you are and not give it any attention when you get flareups. Cheer up, this doesn't get much better, but life in general will, I promise.
I noticed when I shaved or even trimmed I start peeling more and it's more noticeable, is that normal I don't have the full on shit like he said but I feel it might be a milder form?
I had seborrheic dermatitis in my scalp. My mother in law suggested I use T Gel medicated shampoo to clear it up. I didn't believe it would actually work but over six months of using it and not putting any kind of hair products in my hair, it finally cleared up. I was so happy to have my scalp back to normal. My infected scalp oozed greenish stuff for months and months. I regret not using it when I first got the symptoms. It's been 22 years since I had it and I swear by this product. It works and is affordable. I saw a dermatologist which charged me over a thousand dollars and nothing ever helped. Thank God for the product clearing that gunk out of my scalp.
Bro, I hear you...can absolutely make one feel aaaaaalone, but its like everyone has SOMETHING they need support with & thank the Lord people will talk about things now🙏🙏🙏
Scalp dermatitis was the symptom that drove me to the Doctor's who, after a thyroid screen, diagnosed me with Hashimoto's Hypothroidism. I highly suggest getting a thyroid screen to check TSH level, T4 level, and antibodies. When you have an autoimmune problem and your hormone levels have gone asunder, this sort of ailment can really happen. The suggestions for treatment on this video are good. Nizoral and Selsun Blue Double strength are very good and also Tar shampoos. However, the way I really got this under control is actually quite simple: Onions. I make a paste of chopped onions plus a few drops of Oregano or Clove oil and blend it in the blender making a paste. Put this on your scalp for at least 1 hour. No more itching at all. Onions are high in sulphur which is the basic compound of many of these shampoos. It's antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral.
Iam also under thyroid medication...dermatitis is really a problem iam using salicyclic acid lotion....but I cant stop it foe a single day..when stops dandruff comes back....i will sunrashes too..
I was using coal tar shampoo daily and still had stuff growing in my ears, behind my ears and on my face and scalp. Then for other reasons, I did an 84-hour water fast and the Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is just gone. It has been about 2 months and I'm just using regular shampoo and it's still just gone. I have no idea if that would work for anyone else, but I noticed immediately after fasting for 3 days the crusty skin and flakes just disappeared and so far has not returned, it was an extra cool bonus prize!
@@singlepasanga7932 I ate very light the two days before the fast and breaking the fast I only ate 1/3 pound 90% lean beef patty with nothing (No salt, catsup or cheese) and only lean protein and no carbs the next day also. So, with a 3 day fast, you really are restricting your food intake for 7 days, two days before and 2 days after.
Has it come back since your fast yet? PLZ I'm very interested in your success and have heard others mention a fast eradicated their seb derm. Also how bad was it before the fast
@@J_Weezie Since the fasting, I've done 2 in the last 2 months, it's basically gone. I've found a small amount of crust behind my right ear a couple of times, but that's it. Before, every morning I would wake up with flakes all around my nose and under my eyes and on my forehead, in and behind my ears, also lots of scalp flakes. I'm 63 and I noticed it getting bad about 5 years ago. I was using coal tar shampoo and that cut it down about 40% to 50% if I used it every other day. Now I'm just using regular shampoo.
I have it on my face (eyebrows, nose and chin areas) and the following products helped so much - LA Roche posay hydrating gentle cleanser, a313 cream (French pharmacy) (helps reduce flares/flakes), la roche posay double repair matte moisturizer. If it's really bad then I use hydrocortisone cream until the skin is less irritated (as per dermatologist). Don't do the dandruff shampoo on my face- for me it made it worse.
Your comment about the dandruff shampoo making it worse stands out for me. I got some Head and Shoulders at a professional's suggestion (one of the dermatologists online) and in just three washings I had peeling skin and flakes everywhere, literally everywhere, on my face. You may have saved some people the experience.
When I cut out wheat, gluten, and sugar, mine got ALOT better, especially if you’re a man and you have this in your beard like I did. Also, using tea tree products helped a lot too. I mainly eat meats and vegetables now, I rarely eat any carbs anymore and absolutely no sugars as they will feed the yeast/fungus that causes this. I also only wash my face with a gentle cleanser only like 2x a week now, other days I only use water, also I quit taking super hot showers as this was 100% agitating the condition! Take showers or bathe in lukewarm water or even cold water, yeah I know it sounds like that sucks but after a few days you get used to it and you’ll see a massive improvement. Living with this is so frustrating I know, but some simple lifestyle changes can make a massive improvement without spending hundreds of dollars at the dermatologist and on prescription creams and treatments. Pay attention to your gut health as well and get some good prebiotics and probiotics.
Found this video after getting concerned about stress rash.... instantly subscribed!!! Great video surprised you haven't had 1mil views yet for how good video is ❤
Having suffered for a number I have recently worked out what I think caused mine. Dermatologists have told me that it was due to stress and I have always said I don’t really have stress in my life. However I recently discovered that I have probably been suffering from metabolic stress. For a number of years I have been drinking coffee a lot of it and strong. My coffee machine broke a short while ago and I have been drinking less. Now at the same time I have also had symptoms which suggest a B12 deficiency or Folate (B9) deficiency. Well I got tested for active B12 (doctor won’t do this they only do a misleading Serum B12 test) and a folate test where I was at the bottom of the scale but in normal territory. So all is well, well not really. It turns out that drinking lots of fresh coffee, more than around 110g of beans a day (and I was using probably 150-200g) can cause high levels of Homocysteine within the Methylation cycle which can cause a number of unwanted symptoms. It doesn’t matter wether it is caffeinated or decaf coffee the caffeine isn’t thought to be the culprit in raising Homocysteine levels. Just in case and to give my body the best chance of recovery I have started to supplement with good quality B12 and B9 supplements in the form the body can absorb. There are conditions which affect the body being able to absorb both these vitamins correctly so best to use the versions the body actually needs. For more information check out the pernicious anaemia society website. Your mileage may vary but I would suggest that people get their folate and active B12 levels checked and maybe even Homocysteine and MMA (methylmalonic acid) especially if the have any other symptoms of a B vitamin deficiency, you may just find out it clears your skin condition.
This is it, 3 months of thyamine and B12 and recovered, also used rhodiola to balance cortisol level and now I am fine with no issues. Minimised oxalate intake which is also important
Interesting... And to think this whole time I thought I had some crazy new leprosy disease. Was even going to name it after me and be textbook famous. I do notice it flares up more when thyroid levels are too low. Kind of makes sense since my skin gets all dried out and lizard-like. Good stuff, Doc. Subscribed.
My husband has it. We’ve been married for 27 years. It’s just something he has and it doesn’t bother me other than feeling compassion for him. Over the years he has found what works for him and can keep flare ups to a minimum.
I have it. It's extremely irritating sometimes. I use Nizoral shampoo which helps, but sometimes my scalp just itches anyway. I find that staying hydrated helps the itching calm down though.
Try MCT Oil combined with Black Seed Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Avocado Oil and maybe also Argan Oil instead of Nizoral. I switched to this Method after a few months of using Nizoral Shampoo and my Scalp feels better than ever. Wash your hair 2-3x a week with these Oils and leave it always in for like 30-45 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. Never ever use hot water.
I’ve been stuck with this disease (seborrheic dermatitis) for 3 decades now, and it’s so frustrating. The constant itching, flaking, and redness drive me crazy, especially when it flares up at the worst times. It’s embarrassing to deal with the visible flakes on my clothes and scalp, and no matter how much I try, the irritation doesn’t completely go away. The trial-and-error with different shampoos, creams, and treatments is exhausting too. It’s like a never-ending battle!
@ Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate the support. I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis since I was 10, so it has been 32 years now. Over time, I’ve gotten used to it, but winter is definitely the worst season for me as well. The cold weather makes the itching, flaking, and redness even harder to manage. I hope you’re able to keep it under control during winter too. Wishing us both some relief from this frustrating condition!
Causes: Stress anxiety lack of sleep minerals vitamins defeciency Treatment: take a lot of sleep and vitamin d from sunlight Drink Apple cider vinegar in water daily Reduce stress, walk jogging, use light warm water for bath
I’ve just started to deal with this within the last couple years at 37 years old. I’ve never had any prior skin issues. I didn’t even really get acne other than a zit here or there. I know they’re likely unrelated, but felt that was relevant to the discussion. Mine appears in my eyebrows, in-between my eyebrows and on my eyelids. My eyebrows get the most flaky, with the scales being fairly thick and hurt to pull on. At first I thought it was just dry skin so I started using moisturizer every day after the shower. It comes and goes. At the moment, I’m in Rhode Island for the holidays (I live in SWFL) and it’s really flared up. My mom suggested using baby oil and, while it does kind of soak in and cover up the appearance of my skin, I know it’s not doing anything to really help it. I appreciate all of the comments on this video and the support I see people showing each other. It’s also nice to read about some different remedies that people have found success with. I was unaware of many of them. Hope everyone has a great New Year and can figure out how to deal with SD!
Try taking a gut microbiome test to see if you're immunodeficient in anything. I had an eczema flare up out of nowhere a few years ago and only now learned I was deficient in lactobacillus. 100% pure argan oil was also extremely helpful as its antifungal. Good luck!
Im 38 and dealing with this for the first time too! My daughter waxed my eyebrows for the first time ever and a few days latter I started feeling irritation in the area and when it started spreading I went to dermatologist. Im taking the cream My face keeps peeling, I don’t know if I’m supposed to leave it alone or peel the flakes off. It’s all across my forehead, on my eyelids, sides of my nose and under my chin! This is dreadful
@@kishwar3984 I’ve been using baby oil after I shower. A little goes a long way. The oil will basically make it look good for a full day but it isn’t doing anything to cure the problem. I’m at the point where I’m ready to see a dermatologist. Some days it’s so bad that if I even touch my eyebrows it makes the flakes appear. So frustrating.
Since shampoo with zinc seems to control my dandruff pretty well, I thought I would try a zinc lotion that comes in a tube on my face where I also have mild outbreaks. It turned out to work better than I expected. After shampooing my hair, I use the zinc lotion on my scalp, and it doubles as a hair conditioner. I also apply the zinc lotion to problem areas on my face. I can now go several days without washing my hair, whereas before I had to wash it with dandruff shampoo every day. Also, I no longer need to use steroid cream on my face and use the zinc lotion instead with great results.
I have been suffering from this for the past 5 years. I tried a lot of medicated shampoos, and cortisone creams. None of them helped, it's most likely a hereditary disease. My father has it too but it doesn't flare up for him anymore like it used to back in his teenage days. This condition sadly has no cure, you need to keep managing it through medications and you also need to manage your diet. Stop consuming sugary foods and high carb food, it will help. Also avoid steam baths, always shower with cold water. Don't use rough towels to rub your face after showers. Use some kind of soft thin clothed towel or paper instead. Use moisturizer on a daily basis. If you follow these tips, you can keep it under control and it won't become visible on your face. But if you become complacent and not follow the routine, it will come back and most of the times it's worse than the last time.
HERE IS HOW TO FIX IT (From someone that suffers from this severely) I have only ever found one treatment that works perfectly and it is not anti-fungal creams. I have tried countless anti-fungal creams as well as moistures, which never did much good. What you are going to want to do - Order dead sea salt (it has to be dead sea salt) online and MCT oil that does not contain lauric acid (C12), as this will make it worse. Take a few spinkles of dead sea salt and add it to a bowl of warm water water so that it dissolves. Smear that on the affected areas of your face and leave for 1-2mins then rinse off with cold water. After this, dry your face off and moisturise with MCT oil. In the beginning i did this daily, then eventually only had to do it weekly. Now I only have to do this ever fortnight or so and it keeps it away completely. Other people have only had do to it a few times for the condition to never appear again. I urge anyone who is reading this to try it!! It has improved my quality of life and sounded ridiculous when I first heard of it, but here i am recommending it. 🙂 I would also like to note that 1kg dead sea salt lasts me about a year and one bottle of MCT oil much longer.
I've been taking thyroid medication for a week and I noticed my scalp started to get less bumpy. Today my scalp was completely smooth like regular skin and it's almost back to my regular skin color. I didn't use my creams or ketoconazole shampoo in 2 days. And no more flakes.
My personal treatment, use anti-fungal shampoo in the correct manner; If first time, let it on your hair for 5-7 minutes. For 2nd or 3rd time on ward just let it for 2, 3 minutes and never ever ever use any other hair product. Did it once, had to restart all the treatment from zero. And thank you doc for being clear and concise!
Just wanted to add: Seborrheic Dermatitis can sometimes look like psoriasis, psoriasis can be serious and even life threatening in rare cases, a third of people with psoriasis could develop into psoriasis arthritis. Don't self diagnose your skin condition as Seborrheic Dermatitis and think it's 'harmless', it could well be psoriasis, go see a doctor just to be safe.
I am suffering from this condition for the past few years. The doctor prescribed me fluconazole tablets, 150mg and 400mg both in the first and second visit for a month and steroid ointments. The treatment worked but it turned out to be a temporary fix, both times. After few weeks it comes back. I am planning to visit another doctor for this, but, really, I am extremely frustrated. I think shed more than my dog...all over the room. Dandruff from my face and eyebrows etc makes my glasses, phone everything covered with white dust.
Me too. I’ve been thankful for the masks lately and my baseball cap covers my forehead. It’s really awful, I’ve been fighting this for 40 years. Nizoral worked at first and was a miracle but after 10 years it stopped. Been on betamethasone and it got better but now nothing is working.
I was diagnosed with it today. I have it on the outside of my eye so bad it cracks and so very sore. I also have it on each side of my mouth. Very attractive. The Dr Derm called in an ointment to my pharmacy. Hope to get it tomorrow. Some videos say it from oil glands. I have very dry skin. 🧐
head and shoulders anti hair loss shampoo helps but you have to massage your scalp very well and let the shampoo sit for 10 minutes also get your thyroid checked! but the doctor must run a FULL thyroid panel not just TSH value!! hypothyroid can cause seborrheic dermatitis among various other skin conditions
I didn't have this before when I was in Asia in a tropical country. Now that I live in Europe, I experience this twice a year. When the season changes from spring to summer and from fall to winter and last for a week or two but oddly enough, it dissapears at when its completely summer or completely winter. I went to a dermatologist was prescribed capsules and ointments during my vacation in my home country and it was completely gone but when winter came, it also came back. It's really frustrating because the trigger is the weather, its not like I can controll the weather or something and its not like i can just go back to my home country when I have so much more in Europe. . .
@@rowenapalma7983 the last time i went home to the Philippines because of the cold humid air in the airplane, it became really bad. But after a week stay in the Philippines, it dissapeared without treatment. I don't know why that happened but just sharing my experience. . .
@@jannebrija9879 My skin is better when I’m in the Philippines for my two months vacations mas fumando kase humid at May moisture talaga doon. Here in US my skin is so terrible 😞
Im a filipino and i also have this now (i think also SD or eczema). This year the first was on january, i took a vacation in the province and when i returned in ncr, that's when it started. It last for about 2 weeks and I didnt do any medication. After it was healed, I went again in our province and I returned this May, and there it is, I have it again and much worse 😢. Im really anxious how will I look on Monday on my first day of my new job..
People, I had it. My problem was heavy metals poisoning. (Which also causes molds and parasites to destroy your gut health). It could be yours as well... I started doing oil-pulling (with sesame oil) and after 2months,not only my skin is clear and healed,but it looks much better overall, my gums are no longer inflammed, my dentist said my teeth were perfectly clean and I sleep better. Also, go test your food allegies, and be careful with what you eat. Probiotics and unproccesed food is ofc the base for your gut health. I hope this can help somebody.
I want to go carnivore but am such a foodie and home chef. It would help this problem IMMENSELY! I don’t remember this beginning with me until I was around 21 years old but I also washed my hair more often back then. I’m 29 now & can only go 2-3 days and on day 3 I’m usually in pain.
I use ketaconazol in cream, in a week it calm it, but if I got stressed it comes back I sometimes use antinflamatory losion. The good news is that in my chest and ears it didnt come back. The tip is use antifungal medication.
I have been suffering with DS for 15 yrs. My dermatologist tells me it’s no big deal. I hope more dermatologists get it because for me it’s painful, a loss of sleep, highly irritating and thinner hair. Yes I’m on prescriptions .
Cutting the hair short and shampooing 3 times a week helps a lot Or every day if you can Solution is to get rid of skin oils and applying a simple cream (hydratation)
@@wilted_rose510 the longer I am off dairy, the better it is. I was a special patient at the Cleveland Clinic when I was a teenager. My celiac disease was very sensitive, and they tried to get inflammation down any way they could. It was during this time I learned that it was well know in dietary health that Dairy is one of the most inflammatory foods and after that Sugar. When inflammation in the gut goes down, the gut can better absorb nutrients and better supply the body with what it needs. The scalp is an area heavily impacted by gut inflammation. Integrative Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic did a fabulous job at helping me figure out my gut inflammation and fixing it through diet. I can’t say my hair is ever sticky, but it does get oily and I seem to react to my own oil. I have to shower once every day to wash the oil away. I also can’t sleep on wet hair because I am high in yeast and the dampness causes an increase when slept on overnight. Sleep with dry hair and wash pillow case (if not all sheets) frequently, my ideal is every weekend. I use ketoconozole right now for the yeast/fungus and it definitely relieves the pain and further redness (easy to get Rx from primary care doctor without appointment pick up at CVS). It doesn’t take away the condition, as my scalp still feels uneven and not smooth, but the pain and itching is gone whenever I use ketoconozole shampoo and leave it on my scalp for 3-5 mins before rinsing. If i eat dairy, I have to use the shampoo more frequently and even apply a tiny bit to my scalp dry before sleeping so I can sleep and won’t wake up with pain or itching. Eating dairy makes the shampoo have to work harder haha
I have it in the back of my scalp since I was 17 in college. I'm 62 now. I have helped it with potassium, fish oil capsules and eve primrose. Salt & alcohol triggers it. 😢
Simple carbs, grains, sugary drinks/foods, fermented foods, seed oils trigger it. High protein, complex carb and natural fats help control the flares. Processed foods, sugary foods and fermented foods are the number one cause. Unfortunately it includes most of the tasty stuff, no more pizza, donuts, cakes, wine, sour dough, pasta, noodles, etc.
4 years ago I started using shampoo with Selenium Sulfide in it--Selsun Blue. Walmart has a bargain version of Selsun blue, which i use. I use it when i shower, not only washing my hair, but spreading it all over my face and into my ears. I allow it to sit for a couple minutes before rinsing it off. I use this shampoo 4-5 times a week and the Seborrheic Dermatitis is completely under control and my face is clear. I suffered with this condition since 8th grade and in high school it destroyed my self image. I'm still glad I found this remedy at 52 though.
@@kellywolffis5916 I'm glad to share this. If I can help one person escape the soul-crushing "face plague" that I had for most of my life it will be worth it. I would love to know if it helped you.
I've been dealing with this all my life since a teen and have it really bad at the moment. Although it comes and goes it is such a pain and I hate it. I have yet to discover a proper treatment. *sadface*
If its really bad, try getting a mild cortisone cream prescribed from your doctor. Thats also just a temporary fix, but it heals up your skin within hours
look into reducing inflammation - cut dairy, sugar, alcohol, - eat more fruit and veg! Get more sleep. Diary of a CEO channel has guests that talk about importance of sleep - good luck
Dear friends I will share with you a way of how to get rid of this plague for good. Stick to this steps and is should be gone completely in 2 weeks. Everything you need is available in shops or online so you don't need any prescription. 1. Wash your hair and infected areas with Head and Shoulders clinical strenght. Apply a little and massage into infected spots. Leave on for 5 minutes. The colder the water the better. Don't wash your face or infected areas with hot water - big no. 2. After step 1 while your skin is still moist apply hyaluronic acid onto your skin. Put some onto your fingers and massage into your skin. If you have dermatisis on your face apply all over your face not just onto the infected areas. 3. After the hyaluronic acid is absorbed (wait at least 10 minutes) apply salycic acid. Few drops on cotton pad and apply to infected areas. 3. Do not eat bakery breads or or dough. Anything that contains yeast. Yeast helps the infection to grow. 4. Try to cut or reduce dairy products. I hope that this helped you. Please let me know :)
@@SGDrWellness lol because the medical field half ass treats it to begin with. It’s a multi factorial thing that varies from person to person and needs a multi factorial approach…
Im 37 and basically have had this since i was about 10. Id get crazy dandruff and my mother introduced me to Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo and it definitely helps in my head. But ive developed in on my nose and i dont know what to do. After seeing some of your comments i feel less alone in it.
Don’t use steroids or any kind of allopathic medication. Start using natural and organic soaps and shampoos. Eat healthy and balanced diet !!! Vitamin d deficiency causes it in most of the cases
I developed sebderm when I was 25. When it first appeared, it was only a little red patch peeking through my hairline on my forehead, and I thought nothing of it. At the time I was in my last year of university, and it stayed pretty much the same size throughout the year. It got worse when I started working, only 1 year later it already covered the hairline on the left side of my forehead, luckily my fringe still covered it. I went to see a dermatologist, he prescribed me some topical cream and a shampoo. It was better only when I use the cream. He said it's steroid based cream so I must not use it on regular basis. Only when the sebderm acts up. Now, the red patch has grown to the point it covers the entire hairline on my forehead and the back of my ears. I feel so embarrassed I barely do my hair since I'm worried people would see what's under it. What do I do, people? 😢
I found that bathing my face and scalp with water and some white vinegar helps control it, but not end it unfortunately. Vinegar is anti-fungal and anti-bacterial...and cheap.
Hey bro try the the carnivore diet for a week. Avoid carbs sugar yeast and all other shit. Only meat and eggs and water nothing else. And try avène cicalfate repair cream it reduce redness and dryness and flakiness.
I have SD. Myself and many other people with it use apple cider vinegar (ACV) to treat it. I have been using it for years now and it works very well. If you want to know more, just ask 😊
@@sandramacdonald7764 Every night before bed, I put one tea spoon of water and one of ACV in a mug, so 50/50 mix. Then drop a cotton pad in and let it soak it up. Then apply all over inc eye brows etc! Depending on how our skin is, you may want to start with a weaker solution! Maybe 70/30 water and build up from there! It doesn't work for everyone, but I have been using it for years to great effort 👏
Iodine helps but get the one thats with glycerin apply it thick and let it soak overnight on the effected areas dont worry the brownish color will disappear(might need to put a towel over pillow). Do it for multiple nights and it will help.
I have it on my brows and it makes my eyebrow hair fall off. Please how do i stop the fall, i dont even care about the flakes, i only want my eyebrows to be as full as normal. Im afraid it could damage the hair root. Its giving me severe stress
Thats whats most annoying is the hair loss dandruff without the hairloss would be nothing compared to having the hairloss and damdruff anyways I want this evil thing to be removed !

Hello Dr.wellness
Thanks you so much for your information!
Im 25 and have seborrheic dermatitis for 4 months now,my dermatologist give me 2% ketoconazole shampoo and there is improvment but i still have those little white material mostly on the edge of my fall hairs(its causeing me a hair shedding!)
Can you please help me?
What can i do about that?
Those white flakes and material u can try removing with olive oil or cocois oil!
@@SGDrWellness for how long to apply the olive/cocois oil on the scalp?
and i need to to it everyday?
@@abcd-jk7mx hey! apply it for about an hour and gently wash and scrub the skin flakes off. you can use daily till the scalp is clear
BELIEVE ME. Accutane really CURES sbd, only after 4-5 months it comes back. I think the KEY of the PERMANENT treatment of sbd is in the accutane. Maybe we must find the right dosage to cure sbd permanently or maybe accutane includes some ingredients which manage the oil in skin and kill sbd…WE must do research and understand how accutane kills sbd for 4-5 months (maybe a big dosage can cure it permanently?), where is the key my dears?. We must understand this. I wanna remind you ISOTROTEIN CURES ACNE ( it was said that acne also doesn't have a treatment because it is chroric,but as we see isotrotein cures acne permanently), and the reason of Acne is also the excess oil of the skin.. let's discuss and understand how accutane works on sbd and which dosage may kill sbd forever.. tell your dermatologists about it and and think together, we don't have right to stop
It's a shame there's no cure for it. I feel like there's not enough awareness about it. This thing is a lifetime inconvenience. It can spread to your face and makes you feel like never leaving your home. 🥺
@@janlestermarquez2880 thakyou broo
It's an absolute nightmare I have it on the back of my neck, eyebrows, forehead and under eyes
@@JJay13Productionz did u go for checkup
The only solution that worked for me was to stop eating stuff that contains gluten and reducing sugar
There's no "cure", but if you put on a bit of head & shoulder shampoo on affected areas in the shower, then immediately after getting out use Avene Cicalfate repair cream, it will stop all flaking and reduce 90% of the redness. Need to do it every 2nd night. Tube of the cream costs 16$ and lasts for months
I'll tell you right now that SUGAR will make this so much worse. If you cut sugar out of your diet, your skin will get back to normal right away.
Yes, I noticed the same thing.
Will try this 😔
I have been on keto diet for 6 weeks now and mine is still here and inflamed.
I agree when I removed Starbucks drinks that are full of sugar I noticed I had no flare up on my face,ears and scalp
@@TahtoKristian Yup, no sugar and drink water, and your skin will be immaculate.
Since the day I stopped using sugar at all for a month my skin flaking was reduced soo much. That's what I did I thought I should share this for people who have same issues like me
Are you sure ?
@@user-ks4ww2cc8p yes and organic coconut oil also helped . I use to apply on my face after facewash.
@@remoa9142 I thank you very much
I totally believe you, because when i eat bad (fat and sugar) my skin feel more oily and ichy
HOW DO YOU EVEN AVOID SUGAR IN 2022? its literally in everything unless you have the money to hire a chef
Been dealing with this for 13 years, I'm 26 now. It sucks, it comes and goes. But it's not life-ending, you can still have a good life, you can still go out and have fun even though you might not feel like it sometimes because of how it looks at that moment. Accept it, try what you can to keep it down. If you get low self-esteem, do other things to better your body. No one is perfect, and this is just one of our flaws, you will find people in your life that will accept you for who you are and not give it any attention when you get flareups. Cheer up, this doesn't get much better, but life in general will, I promise.
Thank you for this
It only comes back when u consume any food that contains gluten. Stop consuming gluten and u will be shocked.
Thank you buddy
I noticed when I shaved or even trimmed I start peeling more and it's more noticeable, is that normal I don't have the full on shit like he said but I feel it might be a milder form?
@@artderesh221 what do you use?
My husband went gluten free and it healed up in 3 days.
It's a miracle. Praise the Lord!!!
I had seborrheic dermatitis in my scalp. My mother in law suggested I use T Gel medicated shampoo to clear it up. I didn't believe it would actually work but over six months of using it and not putting any kind of hair products in my hair, it finally cleared up. I was so happy to have my scalp back to normal. My infected scalp oozed greenish stuff for months and months. I regret not using it when I first got the symptoms. It's been 22 years since I had it and I swear by this product. It works and is affordable. I saw a dermatologist which charged me over a thousand dollars and nothing ever helped. Thank God for the product clearing that gunk out of my scalp.
Hi! Did you use a particular brand and did this dry out your hair?
What particular brand of t gel did you use
It’s so good to find a community. I was going crazy.
Bro, I hear you...can absolutely make one feel aaaaaalone, but its like everyone has SOMETHING they need support with & thank the Lord people will talk about things now🙏🙏🙏
@ I actually was able to find out my condition was because of a gluten sensitivity.
Scalp dermatitis was the symptom that drove me to the Doctor's who, after a thyroid screen, diagnosed me with Hashimoto's Hypothroidism. I highly suggest getting a thyroid screen to check TSH level, T4 level, and antibodies. When you have an autoimmune problem and your hormone levels have gone asunder, this sort of ailment can really happen. The suggestions for treatment on this video are good. Nizoral and Selsun Blue Double strength are very good and also Tar shampoos. However, the way I really got this under control is actually quite simple: Onions. I make a paste of chopped onions plus a few drops of Oregano or Clove oil and blend it in the blender making a paste. Put this on your scalp for at least 1 hour. No more itching at all. Onions are high in sulphur which is the basic compound of many of these shampoos. It's antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral.
Interesting. Post the recipe.
Iam also under thyroid medication...dermatitis is really a problem iam using salicyclic acid lotion....but I cant stop it foe a single day..when stops dandruff comes back....i will sunrashes too..
I am also having this problem
@@bulletyathrikan3472 I can empathise completely
@@alainexpatthank you for the tip. I imagine your head smells pretty interesting afterwards lol....
How do you manage that aspect?
A lot of information related to disease and treatment here. I learn a lot as a medical student. Thank you.🔥
Hey thanks! Happy to hear it was helpful.
Share with ur schoolmates ya?
@@SGDrWellness Yes Sure.
I was using coal tar shampoo daily and still had stuff growing in my ears, behind my ears and on my face and scalp. Then for other reasons, I did an 84-hour water fast and the Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is just gone. It has been about 2 months and I'm just using regular shampoo and it's still just gone. I have no idea if that would work for anyone else, but I noticed immediately after fasting for 3 days the crusty skin and flakes just disappeared and so far has not returned, it was an extra cool bonus prize!
Any food restrictions you followed after having fasting?
@@singlepasanga7932 I ate very light the two days before the fast and breaking the fast I only ate 1/3 pound 90% lean beef patty with nothing (No salt, catsup or cheese) and only lean protein and no carbs the next day also. So, with a 3 day fast, you really are restricting your food intake for 7 days, two days before and 2 days after.
Thank you for the reply..Will try and update you brother
Has it come back since your fast yet? PLZ I'm very interested in your success and have heard others mention a fast eradicated their seb derm. Also how bad was it before the fast
@@J_Weezie Since the fasting, I've done 2 in the last 2 months, it's basically gone. I've found a small amount of crust behind my right ear a couple of times, but that's it. Before, every morning I would wake up with flakes all around my nose and under my eyes and on my forehead, in and behind my ears, also lots of scalp flakes. I'm 63 and I noticed it getting bad about 5 years ago. I was using coal tar shampoo and that cut it down about 40% to 50% if I used it every other day. Now I'm just using regular shampoo.
I have it on my face (eyebrows, nose and chin areas) and the following products helped so much - LA Roche posay hydrating gentle cleanser, a313 cream (French pharmacy) (helps reduce flares/flakes), la roche posay double repair matte moisturizer. If it's really bad then I use hydrocortisone cream until the skin is less irritated (as per dermatologist). Don't do the dandruff shampoo on my face- for me it made it worse.
Thank you. My dermatologist told me to
Use the drandruff shampoo on my face and it made it 3x as bad.
@@kristopherjohnson2837 me too...my face was so irritated and red..
Your comment about the dandruff shampoo making it worse stands out for me. I got some Head and Shoulders at a professional's suggestion (one of the dermatologists online) and in just three washings I had peeling skin and flakes everywhere, literally everywhere, on my face. You may have saved some people the experience.
Some of my glads are hard as a rock just below where the infection is. This is a nightmare. I wish everyone to get well soon.
When I cut out wheat, gluten, and sugar, mine got ALOT better, especially if you’re a man and you have this in your beard like I did. Also, using tea tree products helped a lot too. I mainly eat meats and vegetables now, I rarely eat any carbs anymore and absolutely no sugars as they will feed the yeast/fungus that causes this. I also only wash my face with a gentle cleanser only like 2x a week now, other days I only use water, also I quit taking super hot showers as this was 100% agitating the condition! Take showers or bathe in lukewarm water or even cold water, yeah I know it sounds like that sucks but after a few days you get used to it and you’ll see a massive improvement. Living with this is so frustrating I know, but some simple lifestyle changes can make a massive improvement without spending hundreds of dollars at the dermatologist and on prescription creams and treatments. Pay attention to your gut health as well and get some good prebiotics and probiotics.
Another tip if you still get flare ups you can apply iodine the one that's mixed in with glycerine (at night before bed) that seems to work as well.
Found this video after getting concerned about stress rash.... instantly subscribed!!! Great video surprised you haven't had 1mil views yet for how good video is ❤
So if you have seborrhoeic dermatitis how is it now?
Having suffered for a number I have recently worked out what I think caused mine. Dermatologists have told me that it was due to stress and I have always said I don’t really have stress in my life. However I recently discovered that I have probably been suffering from metabolic stress.
For a number of years I have been drinking coffee a lot of it and strong. My coffee machine broke a short while ago and I have been drinking less. Now at the same time I have also had symptoms which suggest a B12 deficiency or Folate (B9) deficiency. Well I got tested for active B12 (doctor won’t do this they only do a misleading Serum B12 test) and a folate test where I was at the bottom of the scale but in normal territory. So all is well, well not really. It turns out that drinking lots of fresh coffee, more than around 110g of beans a day (and I was using probably 150-200g) can cause high levels of Homocysteine within the Methylation cycle which can cause a number of unwanted symptoms. It doesn’t matter wether it is caffeinated or decaf coffee the caffeine isn’t thought to be the culprit in raising Homocysteine levels. Just in case and to give my body the best chance of recovery I have started to supplement with good quality B12 and B9 supplements in the form the body can absorb. There are conditions which affect the body being able to absorb both these vitamins correctly so best to use the versions the body actually needs. For more information check out the pernicious anaemia society website.
Your mileage may vary but I would suggest that people get their folate and active B12 levels checked and maybe even Homocysteine and MMA (methylmalonic acid) especially if the have any other symptoms of a B vitamin deficiency, you may just find out it clears your skin condition.
This is it, 3 months of thyamine and B12 and recovered, also used rhodiola to balance cortisol level and now I am fine with no issues. Minimised oxalate intake which is also important
Thank you for your wisdom..
Interesting... And to think this whole time I thought I had some crazy new leprosy disease. Was even going to name it after me and be textbook famous. I do notice it flares up more when thyroid levels are too low. Kind of makes sense since my skin gets all dried out and lizard-like. Good stuff, Doc. Subscribed.
Do you take iodine?
As a guy this is very embarrassing especially when you visit a barber,my barber was chilled about it yeah it's not nice
Thank you so much doctor I was quite scared when my eyebrows were got so itchy and it has been so irritating but thank you for your advice 💕
My husband has it. We’ve been married for 27 years. It’s just something he has and it doesn’t bother me other than feeling compassion for him. Over the years he has found what works for him and can keep flare ups to a minimum.
May I ask what worked for him?
What does being married for 27 years have to do with anything????? wtf.....
@@CowboyPants-h5pSomething that doesn't happen in today's society, people are not loyal in marriage.
I have had this my whole life, i can say this is not fun to deal with the past 19 years
I have been suffering for 27 years since i was 17 now im 44 and feel sometimes during flare up want to lock myself ant not to see anyone
great infos thanks
I have it. It's extremely irritating sometimes. I use Nizoral shampoo which helps, but sometimes my scalp just itches anyway. I find that staying hydrated helps the itching calm down though.
Try MCT Oil combined with Black Seed Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Avocado Oil and maybe also Argan Oil instead of Nizoral. I switched to this Method after a few months of using Nizoral Shampoo and my Scalp feels better than ever. Wash your hair 2-3x a week with these Oils and leave it always in for like 30-45 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. Never ever use hot water.
I’ve been stuck with this disease (seborrheic dermatitis) for 3 decades now, and it’s so frustrating. The constant itching, flaking, and redness drive me crazy, especially when it flares up at the worst times. It’s embarrassing to deal with the visible flakes on my clothes and scalp, and no matter how much I try, the irritation doesn’t completely go away. The trial-and-error with different shampoos, creams, and treatments is exhausting too. It’s like a never-ending battle!
Me also facing this problem since 3yr only on winter season it will show up. Don't worry it will be okay.
@ Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate the support. I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis since I was 10, so it has been 32 years now. Over time, I’ve gotten used to it, but winter is definitely the worst season for me as well. The cold weather makes the itching, flaking, and redness even harder to manage. I hope you’re able to keep it under control during winter too. Wishing us both some relief from this frustrating condition!
@Reachland02 yup me also pray for you get relief from this soon.

I’ve just started to deal with this within the last couple years at 37 years old. I’ve never had any prior skin issues. I didn’t even really get acne other than a zit here or there. I know they’re likely unrelated, but felt that was relevant to the discussion.
Mine appears in my eyebrows, in-between my eyebrows and on my eyelids. My eyebrows get the most flaky, with the scales being fairly thick and hurt to pull on. At first I thought it was just dry skin so I started using moisturizer every day after the shower. It comes and goes.
At the moment, I’m in Rhode Island for the holidays (I live in SWFL) and it’s really flared up. My mom suggested using baby oil and, while it does kind of soak in and cover up the appearance of my skin, I know it’s not doing anything to really help it.
I appreciate all of the comments on this video and the support I see people showing each other. It’s also nice to read about some different remedies that people have found success with. I was unaware of many of them.
Hope everyone has a great New Year and can figure out how to deal with SD!
Try taking a gut microbiome test to see if you're immunodeficient in anything. I had an eczema flare up out of nowhere a few years ago and only now learned I was deficient in lactobacillus. 100% pure argan oil was also extremely helpful as its antifungal. Good luck!
Im 38 and dealing with this for the first time too!
My daughter waxed my eyebrows for the first time ever and a few days latter I started feeling irritation in the area and when it started spreading I went to dermatologist. Im taking the cream
My face keeps peeling, I don’t know if I’m supposed to leave it alone or peel the flakes off. It’s all across my forehead, on my eyelids, sides of my nose and under my chin! This is dreadful
@@priscillanotpresley sounds exactly like my situation. I’ve noticed it’s worse in the cold, dry air than it is in the heat.
Same happening with me wht u have done next?
@@kishwar3984 I’ve been using baby oil after I shower. A little goes a long way. The oil will basically make it look good for a full day but it isn’t doing anything to cure the problem. I’m at the point where I’m ready to see a dermatologist. Some days it’s so bad that if I even touch my eyebrows it makes the flakes appear. So frustrating.
Since shampoo with zinc seems to control my dandruff pretty well, I thought I would try a zinc lotion that comes in a tube on my face where I also have mild outbreaks. It turned out to work better than I expected. After shampooing my hair, I use the zinc lotion on my scalp, and it doubles as a hair conditioner. I also apply the zinc lotion to problem areas on my face. I can now go several days without washing my hair, whereas before I had to wash it with dandruff shampoo every day. Also, I no longer need to use steroid cream on my face and use the zinc lotion instead with great results.
Please can yu tell me the name of those products you used

Thank you doctor for your best advices, this video is very useful

@@catchmeeeeee I saw this because of my little niece, unfortunately, yes, but very little because it is controlled with medicine
I have been suffering from this for the past 5 years. I tried a lot of medicated shampoos, and cortisone creams. None of them helped, it's most likely a hereditary disease. My father has it too but it doesn't flare up for him anymore like it used to back in his teenage days. This condition sadly has no cure, you need to keep managing it through medications and you also need to manage your diet. Stop consuming sugary foods and high carb food, it will help. Also avoid steam baths, always shower with cold water. Don't use rough towels to rub your face after showers. Use some kind of soft thin clothed towel or paper instead. Use moisturizer on a daily basis. If you follow these tips, you can keep it under control and it won't become visible on your face. But if you become complacent and not follow the routine, it will come back and most of the times it's worse than the last time.
HERE IS HOW TO FIX IT (From someone that suffers from this severely)
I have only ever found one treatment that works perfectly and it is not anti-fungal creams. I have tried countless anti-fungal creams as well as moistures, which never did much good.
What you are going to want to do -
Order dead sea salt (it has to be dead sea salt) online and MCT oil that does not contain lauric acid (C12), as this will make it worse.
Take a few spinkles of dead sea salt and add it to a bowl of warm water water so that it dissolves.
Smear that on the affected areas of your face and leave for 1-2mins then rinse off with cold water.
After this, dry your face off and moisturise with MCT oil.
In the beginning i did this daily, then eventually only had to do it weekly. Now I only have to do this ever fortnight or so and it keeps it away completely. Other people have only had do to it a few times for the condition to never appear again. I urge anyone who is reading this to try it!! It has improved my quality of life and sounded ridiculous when I first heard of it, but here i am recommending it. 🙂
I would also like to note that 1kg dead sea salt lasts me about a year and one bottle of MCT oil much longer.
Iodine with glycerin helps as well .
Why do you not mention sugar and unhealthy foods as triggers?
It's good to know I'm not the only one

I've been taking thyroid medication for a week and I noticed my scalp started to get less bumpy. Today my scalp was completely smooth like regular skin and it's almost back to my regular skin color. I didn't use my creams or ketoconazole shampoo in 2 days. And no more flakes.

@@helanasany8186 I cured it but it came back and you should be seeing doc I'm 19😭
My personal treatment, use anti-fungal shampoo in the correct manner; If first time, let it on your hair for 5-7 minutes. For 2nd or 3rd time on ward just let it for 2, 3 minutes and never ever ever use any other hair product. Did it once, had to restart all the treatment from zero. And thank you doc for being clear and concise!
Thanks for sharing!
I can't live without using conditioner. Is there an anti-fungal conditioner?
Typically, how many times will I have to use it?
@@pumpkindiamond994 any conditioner is fine as long as you don’t get it on the scalp
Just wanted to add: Seborrheic Dermatitis can sometimes look like psoriasis, psoriasis can be serious and even life threatening in rare cases, a third of people with psoriasis could develop into psoriasis arthritis. Don't self diagnose your skin condition as Seborrheic Dermatitis and think it's 'harmless', it could well be psoriasis, go see a doctor just to be safe.
I thought that was rosacea Demodex (Face Mites): Folliculorum

I have also heard it could be a gut issue. Probiotics and taking caprylic acid is supposed to help.
If it was gut biomes issue then it would be seen on other parts of the body and not just one area.
I am suffering from this condition for the past few years. The doctor prescribed me fluconazole tablets, 150mg and 400mg both in the first and second visit for a month and steroid ointments.
The treatment worked but it turned out to be a temporary fix, both times.
After few weeks it comes back.

Well said. But there are good periods where it can go off for a while
Me too. I’ve been thankful for the masks lately and my baseball cap covers my forehead. It’s really awful, I’ve been fighting this for 40 years. Nizoral worked at first and was a miracle but after 10 years it stopped. Been on betamethasone and it got better but now nothing is working.

I was diagnosed with it today. I have it on the outside of my eye so bad it cracks and so very sore. I also have it on each side of my mouth. Very attractive. The Dr Derm called in an ointment to my pharmacy. Hope to get it tomorrow. Some videos say it from oil glands. I have very dry skin. 🧐
Did it go away?
cured?
head and shoulders anti hair loss shampoo helps
but you have to massage your scalp very well and let the shampoo sit for 10 minutes
also get your thyroid checked!
but the doctor must run a FULL thyroid panel not just TSH value!!

I didn't have this before when I was in Asia in a tropical country. Now that I live in Europe, I experience this twice a year. When the season changes from spring to summer and from fall to winter and last for a week or two but oddly enough, it dissapears at when its completely summer or completely winter. I went to a dermatologist was prescribed capsules and ointments during my vacation in my home country and it was completely gone but when winter came, it also came back. It's really frustrating because the trigger is the weather, its not like I can controll the weather or something and its not like i can just go back to my home country when I have so much more in Europe. . .

People, I had it. My problem was heavy metals poisoning. (Which also causes molds and parasites to destroy your gut health). It could be yours as well...
I started doing oil-pulling (with sesame oil) and after 2months,not only my skin is clear and healed,but it looks much better overall, my gums are no longer inflammed, my dentist said my teeth were perfectly clean and I sleep better.
Also, go test your food allegies, and be careful with what you eat. Probiotics and unproccesed food is ofc the base for your gut health.

I want to go carnivore but am such a foodie and home chef. It would help this problem IMMENSELY! I don’t remember this beginning with me until I was around 21 years old but I also washed my hair more often back then. I’m 29 now & can only go 2-3 days and on day 3 I’m usually in pain.
I recently experienced a severe case. I had to cut out almost all flour and yeast products and it helped reduce the inflammation.
I use ketaconazol in cream, in a week it calm it, but if I got stressed it comes back I sometimes use antinflamatory losion. The good news is that in my chest and ears it didnt come back. The tip is use antifungal medication.

Big problem with this desease is that it makes your hair fall
I think my hair falls out because I scratch so damn hard but I can’t help it
I have lost most of my hair from this and it doesn't seem to be growing back.
Cutting the hair short and shampooing 3 times a week helps a lot
Or every day if you can
Solution is to get rid of skin oils and applying a simple cream (hydratation)
I'm really getting outdone with my SD. I shampoo twice a week and i still have atleast one flare a week on my face or scalp. Nothing seems to help.

You should try to stop eating foods that contains gluten and reducing sugar, it worked for me
@@wilted_rose510 especially dairy! That immediately gives me an itchy scalp within hours- even cheese!
@@wilted_rose510 the longer I am off dairy, the better it is. I was a special patient at the Cleveland Clinic when I was a teenager. My celiac disease was very sensitive, and they tried to get inflammation down any way they could. It was during this time I learned that it was well know in dietary health that Dairy is one of the most inflammatory foods and after that Sugar. When inflammation in the gut goes down, the gut can better absorb nutrients and better supply the body with what it needs. The scalp is an area heavily impacted by gut inflammation. Integrative Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic did a fabulous job at helping me figure out my gut inflammation and fixing it through diet. I can’t say my hair is ever sticky, but it does get oily and I seem to react to my own oil. I have to shower once every day to wash the oil away. I also can’t sleep on wet hair because I am high in yeast and the dampness causes an increase when slept on overnight. Sleep with dry hair and wash pillow case (if not all sheets) frequently, my ideal is every weekend. I use ketoconozole right now for the yeast/fungus and it definitely relieves the pain and further redness (easy to get Rx from primary care doctor without appointment pick up at CVS). It doesn’t take away the condition, as my scalp still feels uneven and not smooth, but the pain and itching is gone whenever I use ketoconozole shampoo and leave it on my scalp for 3-5 mins before rinsing. If i eat dairy, I have to use the shampoo more frequently and even apply a tiny bit to my scalp dry before sleeping so I can sleep and won’t wake up with pain or itching. Eating dairy makes the shampoo have to work harder haha

some things that helped me were fasting, cutting out sugar and cheese and getting sunlight
Simple carbs, grains, sugary drinks/foods, fermented foods, seed oils trigger it. High protein, complex carb and natural fats help control the flares. Processed foods, sugary foods and fermented foods are the number one cause. Unfortunately it includes most of the tasty stuff, no more pizza, donuts, cakes, wine, sour dough, pasta, noodles, etc.
4 years ago I started using shampoo with Selenium Sulfide in it--Selsun Blue. Walmart has a bargain version of Selsun blue, which i use. I use it when i shower, not only washing my hair, but spreading it all over my face and into my ears. I allow it to sit for a couple minutes before rinsing it off. I use this shampoo 4-5 times a week and the Seborrheic Dermatitis is completely under control and my face is clear. I suffered with this condition since 8th grade and in high school it destroyed my self image. I'm still glad I found this remedy at 52 though.
Ty for telling us this …I use the shampoo on my hair but now will try on my face!
@@kellywolffis5916 I'm glad to share this. If I can help one person escape the soul-crushing "face plague" that I had for most of my life it will be worth it. I would love to know if it helped you.

I need your help doc 🙏
I've been dealing with this all my life since a teen and have it really bad at the moment. Although it comes and goes it is such a pain and I hate it. I have yet to discover a proper treatment. *sadface*
If its really bad, try getting a mild cortisone cream prescribed from your doctor. Thats also just a temporary fix, but it heals up your skin within hours
look into reducing inflammation - cut dairy, sugar, alcohol, - eat more fruit and veg! Get more sleep. Diary of a CEO channel has guests that talk about importance of sleep - good luck
I’ve had it for the last 3 years and didn’t even know. I thought it was because of a dollar tree acne product I used
Dear friends
I will share with you a way of how to get rid of this plague for good. Stick to this steps and is should be gone completely in 2 weeks. Everything you need is available in shops or online so you don't need any prescription.
1. Wash your hair and infected areas with Head and Shoulders clinical strenght. Apply a little and massage into infected spots. Leave on for 5 minutes. The colder the water the better. Don't wash your face or infected areas with hot water - big no.
2. After step 1 while your skin is still moist apply hyaluronic acid onto your skin. Put some onto your fingers and massage into your skin. If you have dermatisis on your face apply all over your face not just onto the infected areas.
3. After the hyaluronic acid is absorbed (wait at least 10 minutes) apply salycic acid. Few drops on cotton pad and apply to infected areas.
3. Do not eat bakery breads or or dough. Anything that contains yeast. Yeast helps the infection to grow.
4. Try to cut or reduce dairy products.
I hope that this helped you. Please let me know :)
Did anyone get discoloration too in the areas which were affected? I have some discoloration and hate it. Anyone know what i can use?
I’ve had it since college.
Im 44 and i find shaving flares it up drastically.
I’ve always felt it’s related to liver health. That being said I noticed after taking beef liver for 3 weeks now it’s almost gone.
I have a feeling too
Same
Is eating marine collagen useful?
I have this disease
Usually for me cold weather is much better than hot. I live in a very humid climate so during the summer if my SD is bad it HURTS so much!!

@@SGDrWellness Hi.can you please add another update on SebDrem with roflumilast foam?
@@SGDrWellness lol because the medical field half ass treats it to begin with. It’s a multi factorial thing that varies from person to person and needs a multi factorial approach…
My seborrheic dermatitis made me experience excessive hair loss. Any tips on how to grow my hair fast?
Take B vitamins
Try going off all grains.
Im 37 and basically have had this since i was about 10. Id get crazy dandruff and my mother introduced me to Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo and it definitely helps in my head. But ive developed in on my nose and i dont know what to do. After seeing some of your comments i feel less alone in it.
Whats the difference between this and rosacea??
Will an LED light mask work for the face dandruff/ redness?
And here I am, having seborrheic dermatitis since I was a child. 😅 Luckily only on my scalp and not on my face, so it's not really visible.
Don’t use steroids or any kind of allopathic medication. Start using natural and organic soaps and shampoos.
Eat healthy and balanced diet !!! Vitamin d deficiency causes it in most of the cases
What kind of foods will triggers?
go low histamine diet
WILL KETOCANZOLE help? I put some on this morning. thanks. I actually have A BETHAMESONASONE CREAM for a fungal rash. THANKS VERY MUCH DOC!!!!!!!!!
Try cutting carbohydrates until ketosis
I developed sebderm when I was 25. When it first appeared, it was only a little red patch peeking through my hairline on my forehead, and I thought nothing of it.
At the time I was in my last year of university, and it stayed pretty much the same size throughout the year. It got worse when I started working, only 1 year later it already covered the hairline on the left side of my forehead, luckily my fringe still covered it.
I went to see a dermatologist, he prescribed me some topical cream and a shampoo.
It was better only when I use the cream. He said it's steroid based cream so I must not use it on regular basis. Only when the sebderm acts up.
Now, the red patch has grown to the point it covers the entire hairline on my forehead and the back of my ears. I feel so embarrassed I barely do my hair since I'm worried people would see what's under it.
What do I do, people? 😢
You ok now?
I found that bathing my face and scalp with water and some white vinegar helps control it, but not end it unfortunately. Vinegar is anti-fungal and anti-bacterial...and cheap.
I think I have that and it caused my eye brows to fall completely
can you fully get rid of it with isotretinoin oral treatement?
Hey bro try the the carnivore diet for a week. Avoid carbs sugar yeast and all other shit. Only meat and eggs and water nothing else. And try avène cicalfate repair cream it reduce redness and dryness and flakiness.
When I gave up refined sugar and drinking alcohol, mine disappeard and hasnt bothered me since.
I have a milder form of it and use an unscented prescription shampoo with 2% ketoconazole. Works pretty well
I have SD. Myself and many other people with it use apple cider vinegar (ACV) to treat it. I have been using it for years now and it works very well. If you want to know more, just ask 😊
How do you use it and how often?
@@sandramacdonald7764 Every night before bed, I put one tea spoon of water and one of ACV in a mug, so 50/50 mix. Then drop a cotton pad in and let it soak it up. Then apply all over inc eye brows etc! Depending on how our skin is, you may want to start with a weaker solution! Maybe 70/30 water and build up from there! It doesn't work for everyone, but I have been using it for years to great effort 👏
Thank you
Sorry do you leave it on on night?
@@sandramacdonald7764 If it works for you, please share with others too 😊
Iodine helps but get the one thats with glycerin apply it thick and let it soak overnight on the effected areas dont worry the brownish color will disappear(might need to put a towel over pillow). Do it for multiple nights and it will help.
Just what to help😊..
Use petrolium jelly..
For 2 or 3 days skin will more softer and rid all flaky stuff
using this for more than a year now😊.
does argan oil works too?
I have it on my brows and it makes my eyebrow hair fall off. Please how do i stop the fall, i dont even care about the flakes, i only want my eyebrows to be as full as normal. Im afraid it could damage the hair root. Its giving me severe stress
Thats whats most annoying is the hair loss dandruff without the hairloss would be nothing compared to having the hairloss and damdruff anyways I want this evil thing to be removed !
@@antoniocledesma1446 i totally agree. Its been making me depressed, i cant deal with this nightmare anymore. Everybody talks about the causes but nobody solves it. Im tired of it, its a curse
@@Valp8
I believe natural is best way I also believe in Divine healing. Yes it can be so frustrating I hate that its right there on the face :/ I know it is very evil also because its basically tje body attacking itself and causing harm I know God did not create our bodies to attack itself. Best thing to do probably is eat a anti inflammatory diet... May I ask where the hairloss is affecting your brows mine is inner eyebrows right now
@@antoniocledesma1446 same, its inner most of the times. Ive been eating veggies and moderate protein for months, the only carbs i eat come from the veggies and nuts and i still see no difference. I honestly dont know what to do
I can relate, do the hairs come out easy it's so depressing I just have dandruff in my eyebrows
