Seborrhoeic Dermatitis

[noreenoconnor]

No diet doesn't affect it, and clearly not on me for sure, but you always get someone say 'oh have you tried cutting out dairy/wheat/sugar/food/dust/whatever?' so I thought I'd get in first with what I have tried

Curiously, about 8 months ago, after using the B&B for about 4 months, it completely cleared up on my head but a massive patch of scaly, flakey, sometimes red, skin has appeared on my left shin. It's like it's moved. I'm not sure if you can get SD on your legs??? but it wasn't on my scalp anymore and I'm happy with that. Sadly in the 2 months or so its started again on my scalp but no changes to anything that I can attribute it to. If anything stress is reduced.

I think it's the not knowing that frustrates me, which in turn depresses me which in turn makes it all worse

I feel your pain xx I'm going through a good spell at the moment, and even though you know it can't happen you still kind hope you've cured yourself, it's heartbreaking when it comes back Xx

Oh I got that wrong about being banned full stop, sorry, I was remembering a recommendation to reduce the levels. But now I realise where the whole anti wipe thing has come from (EU scientific committee that looked into the rising number of allergic reactions mentions then and how there are no recommended levels for wipes). That's not unusual, and there are other regulatory bodies that do come up with recommendations. For example there is no cosmetic requirement to patch test hair tint but we all do it due to h&s. I always think it's a mistake to blanket dismiss any skin product, there'll always be someone who will benefit from it, even soap or lanolin.

My son had it when he was young and after repeated visits to the GP (and several useless creams later ) I took him to a private specialist.
He was prescribed Salacylic Acid paste ( a relatively cheap solution) and I applied it to him in it at night. It cleared up within a week.
He had a bad case of it - head eyelids, ears, underarms, groin

Hope you get it sorted soon. X

Has anyone ever came across this skin condition? My GP reckons I have it and after trying numerous creams it's not cleared up. He's given me Antifungal antibiotic for two weeks and will refer me to skin clinic if doesn't help. From what I'm reading online I won't ever be rid of this skin condition now and unfortunately it's the worst place it could be over my face [emoji31] not great when I'm starting out as a makeup artist! just wondered if anyone has ever came across it and if so any recommendations to help keep it at bay? At my wits end so would appreciate any advice given.

Thanks geeks x

Hi Emma,

Its never great when your skin changes and pops up with a new condition but its all about adapting and finding whats best for yourself and the condition.

I would recommend LED therapy as someone suggested, i know its worked on Eczema conditions before, in USA they use this a lot as a treatment for skin conditions in the dermatology departments. Get one for use at home though so you can use it on a regular basis as professional treatments might cost a lot more, as you will need weekly treatments. its also not a harsh treatments so won't dry your skin out or cause any adverse reactions etc.
But i would only use LED light therapy after your course of antibiotics is finished.

Let me know if you need any help with this.

best Regards,
Mel

Do you think LED therapy would work on psoriasis on the scalp? X

Hi,

Yes you can use LED on the scalp i would recommend the Red light and if possible the pink 830nm from a professional - these lights are the best for wound healing and more persistent skin concerns. You would have to continue with any doctors creams though, just check with them that you're considering LED light therapy.

hope that helps
