I do. This recipe doesn't work on my scalp. I haven't figured that out yet. I'm not sure of the brands but once I get off, I'll look at what I use and update you. I get in the shower, rinse my body, then lather body wash on me. Once i do that, I use 2% zinc oatmeal soap on my face and rinse my body off. After I rinse my body, I immediately rinse my face. Now my pores are cleaned and I keep a little Tupperware with baking soda that I dab my my finger tips in to and pat my face. My hand and face are wet so it sticks with no issue. Little dabs are the trick, don't rub it in because it'll scratch you. Let sit for 2-3 minutes and rinse off. Pat your face with the towel and then dry off. I moisturize once I'm out and a little goes a long way. Also, it's some SD specific moisturizer that I'll update you with when I can. I really don't know the science behind all of it. I'm almost 27 and have had this issue since I was 14. It's really been a trial and error situation. This is the only thing I've done that's worked for more than two weeks. Pardon the grammar, I'm on lunch and just trying to outline my daily routine. I'd like to add that there have been days where I don't do the baking soda, and I don't immediately break out. I try to do it every day but my world doesn't shatter if I miss a step here and there. I hope I am helping and not just rambling.

Edit: moisturizer- DermaZinc Cream - 4 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000ZHOH2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Baking soda- Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753YZ3FS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I hope these links work. I just checked my Amazon orders and shared the links it gave.

Ready for a book? Here you go!

I’ve suffered from seb derm AND acne prone skin since puberty, and I’m 28 now. If I was still using my original Reddit account, you’d see a post or two in my history from years back when I reached out to r/SkincareAddiction for advice. Lots of good info there, but unfortunately, none of it was very effective for me.

Quick overview of my symptoms/problem areas before I tell you what’s been working for me for the past five years:

  • When untreated, 50%-60% (and at its worst, up to 80%) of my facial skin is red, rough, and flaky—basically in a “flared up” state, but permanently. My scalp is another beast entirely; most of is covered in bump-like clusters of flakes, which become easily visible and look like a snowfall of yellow-tinted dandruff.

  • Particularly affected areas include sides of nose/nostrils, center of forehead, eyebrows, sides of mouth, hairline, and ears (outer and within the start of the canal)

  • Makeup application is next to impossible in this state, and it is physically uncomfortable.

    Believe me when I say I’ve tried just about -everything- that someone with a decent income living in the US can get their hands on. I’ve even gone so far as to buy and try a product discontinued in the US due to FDA regulations via Ebay, shipped from Russia. No luck there, either.

    Now, my case is rather severe. I don’t get “flare ups”. For whatever unlucky reason, this is just how my skin is. I’ve yet to discover any underlying chemical cause, but I’m still working on it.

    For now, and for about the last five years, this is what has worked for me:

  1. My #1 product is something that most people who are serious about skincare will warn against the regular use of, but in my case, it’s a necessity: a topical prescription steroid lotion. I use hydrocortisone 2.5%. Without it, the rest of my skincare might as well not matter at all. When I apply after every shower (every 2-3 days), my skin is virtually flake-free, and will stay that way for some time. I can wear light foundation and powder and it looks good. I’m serious when I say that without this, I’d be miserable, and I’m sad I went so many years without it.

  2. Mild cleanser. Don’t get something harsh, and try to avoid most “natural” products, be they homemade or retail. A lot of natural cosmetics contain ingredients that can “feed” and essentially encourage the fungal aspect of seb derm.

  3. Physical exfoliant. Be careful with this. It’s tempting to regularly scrub the hell out of your face to get rid of all the flakes, but you don’t want to cause excessive micro-tearing; it’s bound to happen, but you can limit the severity by being extra-gentle. I use a salt scrub from Lush (the only “natural” product I use), but immediately follow up with my mild cleanser to limit my skin’s exposure to the stuff the seb derm likes to chow down on.

    I have used a Clarisonic in the past with my mild cleanser, but I got tired of having to constantly disinfect it.

  4. An oil-free, fragrance-free moisturizer. After I apply my steroid lotion and let it soak in for a minute or two, I apply about a nickel-sized amount of moisturizer. This keeps my skin feeling hydrated and helps to replenish some moisture-loss from the steroid cream.

    To break it down in order of steps:

  5. Exfoliate in shower with salt scrub.
  6. Cleanse with mild cleanser
  7. Immediately after patting face dry, apply a little less than a dime-sized amount of steroid lotion.
  8. After steroid soaks in a little, moisturize.

    Now, for my acne issues — I get a ton of blackheads. I think it has to do with the overproduction of oil thanks to the seb derm. All I really do for it is, about once a week, gently extract after a shower when my pores are relaxed from the cleansing and steam, using a metal blackhead extractor. If you choose to do this, be very patient and careful. I caused some pitted scarring in my cheeks when I used to just go to town. Skin with seb derm is extra fragile, and the steroid lotion causes some thinning over time.

    Secondly, before my other products, I swipe a salicylic acid pad over my problem areas. This has really made a difference.

    Whew! That was long. I’m just really serious about sharing my experience with people who have to deal with this incredibly annoying and often-times depressing condition. I hope this helped. Feel free to ask questions! I’m an open book when it comes to my skin.

    TL;DR: This is the moisturizer I’m currently using:

    Neutrogena Oil-Free Daily Facial Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin, Ultra-Gentle & Lightweight Moisturizers Free of Fragrances & Dyes, 4 fl. oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000052YOX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xtbXCbHYAB6TB

Yes, look up "vanicream free & clear shampoo"--- my dermatologist recommended it to me.

https://www.amazon.com/Vanicream-Clear-Shampoo-Sensitive-fragrance/dp/B0006FMK98


It has no SLS/paraben free and all of that good jazz and it uses the same active ingredient as H+S (Pyrth. Zinc).

u/nojunkdrawers · 1 pointr/SebDerm

It's always possible, but I think that's pretty rare. If you want to be 100% sure, buy this stuff(can be found in many grocery stores) and do a spot test.

https://www.amazon.com/Astroglide-Waterproof-Silicone-Personal-Lubricant/dp/B002DUDJWG/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=astroglide%2Bx&qid=1563719869&s=gateway&sr=8-1&th=1

It's only made of 2 ingredients, one of which is dimethicone.

EDIT: Yes, I'm serious BTW. You can zoom in on the bottle on Amazon and see the ingredients list for yourself.

>Which shampoo do you use?

For the moment, Dr Bronner's unscented.
I've found the advise for this on this youtube channel.

But really, it's NOT working. I'm still looking for advices on this...

>And can you describe, how did seb derm look on your face? Did you have areas of your skin that were peeled off and afterwards they are red, sticky and they heal slow?

That 's it: the brown flakes+redness patches on the side of the nose, between the eyes, and the forehead (not mentioning the whole scalp, which is still incurable for me...).

>Thank youu

You're welcome. Internet has saved my life so I try to help in response!

u/sasha_says · 2 pointsr/SebDerm

If your primary concern is redness and not necessarily flaking, perhaps try general anti-redness/brightening treatments like vitamin C serums and licorice root extract. I use Eucerin redness relief night cream and sometimes Acwell Licorice Toner. I have sensitive skin/mild rosacea and vitamin c, licorice extract and maintaining my moisturize barrier make a huge difference in redness.

BTW. gamma linolenic acid, GLA , also a metabolite of linoleic acid , was the big hype for 20 years. It proved to be a damp squibb. AA was ignored because it it "inflammatory", and yet it is proving to possible be the (or an) answer. Just goes to show, never get caught up in theorizing, rather do the tests.

Evening primrose oil was the GLA supplement of choice for eczema. Dubious benefits, if any

A lot of women use the men's rogaine, so I think using the Kirkland brand would be totally fine. If you look at the reviews on amazon, a lot of them are from women. I personally think you should try the rogaine for 6 months and see if it works! I'm 30 now and wish I had started it when I was 23 -I might have more hair, haha. I can't speak for viviscal but my derm recommended this supplement https://www.amazon.com/Elon-Extra-Strength-Hair-Growth/dp/B009NWSRQ0?th=1 and I think it's cheaper.

u/dollyparton26 · 2 pointsr/SebDerm

This is a safer option. I really like it, it has never given me any issues. And if it’s not moisturizing enough just add some drops of squalane oil ;)

u/bahamalove · 1 pointr/SebDerm

KOSE SOFTYMO Speedy Cleansing Oil 230ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000V2FBAQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ITKlDbQ62B1XP

For no particular reason other than I saw somewhere it was sebderm safe. It’s great at removing makeup too! I only use it when I shower/after a night out.. other than that, I don’t wash my face much.

u/blondebitcb · 1 pointr/SebDerm

Here is the brand I ordered from Amazon. I got the 1lb bag and have PLENTY still.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003E1J6DY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1537492198&sr=8-3&keywords=xylitol+health+garden&dpPl=1&dpID=5176WxaWZFL&ref=plSrch

I used a heaping teaspoon to 1/4 cup warmed water.

If you try, please let me know your results.

u/Prozoneee · 1 pointr/SebDerm

Calms the itching and moisturises, was recommended to me by my GP. I'm from the UK and it's very commonly stocked in pharmacies and even on amazon; https://www.amazon.co.uk/E45-Dermatological-Itch-Relief-Cream/dp/B001PMM1LI/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?keywords=e-45+anti+itch&qid=1571623495&sr=8-2-fkmr0

u/jesuz · 3 pointsr/SebDerm

Piroctine Olamine is the hot new gentler version of antidandruff and SD treatement, I ordered a bottle of SebaMed shampoo https://www.amazon.com/Seba-Med-Shampoo-Anti-Dandruff-200ml/dp/B0015XEE3U/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1537710525&sr=1-1&keywords=sebamed+dandruff+shampoo

​

Nowadays I just use head and shoulders (pyrithione zinc) once a week

u/forherlight · 1 pointr/SebDerm

The scalp brush isn't for combing, it's for exfoliating the scalp and getting the flakes/scales off. I find that it works very well. I use it in the shower once I have lathered the shampoo onto my scalp thoroughly. Here's an example of one:

u/sher868 · 2 pointsr/SebDerm

It’s a hair cream so you keep it on. Application is three times per week. I usually section my hair and massage it into my scalp.

TopBrass

u/bitchXXXcraft · 1 pointr/SebDerm

if you just want to get rid of flakes, try this: https://www.amazon.com/Pomada-Azufre-Sulfur-Ointment-Cruz/dp/B00411B4CC

start by putting it on (as you would any face mask) for 15 minutes & washing it off in lukewarm water. traditional exfoliation only aggravates the seb derm.
