It seemed to work wonderfully until this past winter when I started to break out in hives. As with Michael, I have tried so many different lotions I was getting very down and very frustrated. I do believe my hormonal changes have contributed to my SD. As well, I notice that when I have dairy, I seem to have flare-ups. I, too, tried the coconut oil and the first couple of days my skin felt amazing yet it was still dry. I am still trying to find something that works for more than a couple of days -right now it’s Vaseline and hydrocortisone cream. Seborrheic dermatitis is heavily correlated with immunosuppression. From what I remember the correlation with SD and AIDS is off the charts, something like 40-80% ( study). HIV it's something like 36%. In the general population the percentage is somewhere closer to 3-5%. This is likely to due to suppressed sebum protection from the fungus that causes the SD. ( Common superficial fungal infections in immunosuppressed patients). One way to try out different moisturizers is to talk to the clerk at the pharmacy or chain store to see if they have any samples of products available. Typically popular pharmacies will have the most sample variety available, since this is where company reps typically go first. However, I when my bottle ran out I didn’t want to spend another 30 dollars on a small bottle of shampoo. Instead I went with a simple moisturising shampoo from a brand (Andalou) whose natural cleanser I previously enjoyed (the cleanser didn’t help my dermatitis long term). This is the shampoo that I’ve been using every since. The smell is amazing, my scalp feels healthy and my hair looks and feels very good. A bit of dandruff sometimes does come around, but it is quite mild and nothing which causes me to change my routine.

The seborrheic dermatitis is just a result that shows up on the skin. What happens locally on the skin, is skin cell production is over-stimulated. The turnover rate of the effected skin cells becomes even greater than infant skin. My hypothesis is that with such a rapid turn-over skin cells are simply not given enough time to properly mature and develop. Thus, foreign bacteria are more easily able to penetrate the outer most layer of the skin. Personally it’s my opinion that the recommended use of anti-fungals and antibiotics conceals the issue by removing foreign bacteria, but can push things further into progression. My belief is based on fairly new medical studies which have demonstrated that almost 90% of the skin cells are actually dormant. Only ~10% are actually metabolically active. Most antibiotic and anti-fungals work by inhibiting the reproduction of bacteria. However, the ~90% of dormant skin cells aren’t actually doing anything, so they remain unaffected. This might give the exact circumstances needed for foreign bacteria to invade more territory.Clinically proven to improve skin's moisture levels in as little as 2 hours and continue to hydrate for a full 48 hours Thank you so much for posting your experiences with different remedies…it’s actually soothing to know I’m not alone with this battle! Reply Permalink For this reason I believe excessive scrubbing, washing, and any other method which acts to remove dead skin makes things worse. Personally I think reducing the skin cell turnover rate is what people should focus on.

Haven’t used that product, but have a sample of it somewhere as well. A few of the oil control cleansers I did try were not very effective. Simply taking the time to learn about seborrheic dermatitis can be a huge step towards long term treatment. Consider bookmarking and reading the Seborrheic Dermatitis – The Owner’s Manual. It goes over many aspects of finally getting your skin under control. This ties in directly with the end of the last point. After trying many natural oils and/or petrolatum (Vaseline based) products I’ve concluded that the majority are not good for seborrheic dermatitis. To be honest it is really hard to give you a definite answer. Over the years I’ve read so much stuff on the internet say this many different things. However, I can say 100% that what might be bad for one person might work really well for another.Living in a coastal city I have access to fresh affordable fish on a daily basis which supplies me all the fish oil I need. The second item is a little bit more complicated. Many creams have their own way for achieving this affect. Typically herbs or other agents are used to stimulate the skin. The target stimulation is what causes the moisture to come forth. However, think of your skin as an athlete who can only be pushed so far. Yeah your spot on with the last point. The Restoraderm helps me keeps things to a minimum and allows me to gently wash the face. However, being calm inside, being mindful of diet choices, and getting rid of toxic thought processes can have dramatic effects on many aspects of your health. That's because there's no one-size-fits-all approach to treating eczema. "The course of treatment will depend on the symptoms and how severe they are," says Sobel. "But thankfully, there are many over-the-counter anti-inflammatory ointments, gels, and lotions that work," he says. http://www.ijpsr.com/V5I7/45%20Vol.%205,%20Issue%207,%20July%202014,%20IJPSR%20RA%203617,%20Paper%2045.pdf Reply Permalink

Find a moisturizer that works for seborrheic dermatitis

Here is related piece of a conversation I was having with another community member earlier this week: As for the histamine, it’s definitely a part of it. However, I think from everything I've learned so far the problem is much, much more complex. So far it’s looking like a mix of hormonal factors (cortisone and histamine seem to be the most examined), internal anti-oxidant production (particularly bilirubin and glutathione), and a large diversity of other factors. However, everything in the body is interconnected and as a whole the system is basically malfunctioning. Thanks to patented SymCalmin which help breaks itch-scratch cycles; patented Ad-Resyl to help support a healthy a microbiome; patented Filaggrin Technology, which helps hydrate and restores the skin barrier; and colloidal oatmeal, an OTC skin protectant. Why wait any longer? Shop the soothing Itch Relief Gel now. My approach doesn’t seem to work for everyone, but with the input of others I feel like a more comprehensive approach can be designed. After using Restoraderm (mentioned next) for about a year, my results started to decline and seborrheic dermatitis started to return. Not 100% sure why this occurred, but many individuals reported similar experiences (results being fantastic and then tapering off). Myself I have not used a single foaming cleanser that has helped with my seborrheic dermatitis. But shaving foam never irritated it and shaving actually improved it for me. Also things that contained oil seemed to be bad overall. Yet currently I’ve been using a lotion that contains sunflower oil for over 7 months with amazing success. You can see the details of my current approach here.Healthy skin has a balanced microbiome and strong skin barrier, whereas eczema prone skin will often have an unbalanced microbiome and a Before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the product; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. Great stuff, very diluted, contains parabens, but is never made my seborrheic dermatitis act up. It claims to contain hyaluronic acid and ceramides which on paper look amazing. However, I never really witness crazy results from this lotion (more for maintenance purposes). When using this stuff I found that less is more and when diluted with boiled water it makes it much better. This lotion was also very ineffective as a hand moisturizer. Is facial foam bad for SD? How about oilatum bar soap? Does it feed the bacteria in SD? I also heard any cosmetic product DAT contain glycolic acid can irritate SD and also vitamin C and acne product? R u agree w/ dat? Pls rep ASAP? Tnx Reply Permalink This is to give you a big thank you. I’ve been suffering from SD for 15 years on and off and recently I was frustrated that nothing works on my skin anymore. Being hopeless, I thought this time I’m going to search what other SD patients do and then I found your post and Cetaphil Restoraderm. This is like magic. I’ve been using both body wash and moisturizer for two weeks and haven’t seen my skin like this for a long time. So thank you for sharing your experience and suggestions. Hope one day there will be a permanent cure for SD. Reply Permalink

The Restoraderm is hard to explain. Its very mild and doesn’t seem like it would do much. However, a little bit goes a long way for me. weakened skin barrier. This is what makes sensitive skin more susceptible to irritants, which result in symptom flare-ups. Additionally you might find this post useful. It’s basically a summary of almost everything I tried. Some stuff is missing, but it’s a huge list of stuff as is. Hopefully it’s of use to others going down the same route. Step 2: During a flare-up, follow up with the cream that starts significantly repairing your skin barrier after just 1 day of use. There is a strong trend towards more natural and earthy products. This is great, however many things found in nature can aggravate your skin. Be skeptical with products coming from small unknown companies which make bold claims and say they are the best because they are all natural.

Hope that helps. Additionally I’m much more aware of my skin, thoughts, diet and body. Anxiety and stress (physical or emotional) seem to be quite powerful triggers.
