Avatar f tn I have had two prescription creams from the doctor, one for seborrheic dermatitis and one for rosacea, both made my skin feel tight and more dry. I have tried everything under the sun in the way of creams and am currently using Liz Earle for dry/sensitive skin. I have also tried vitamin e oil on my face which works for a few days then stops.
Avatar m tn I currently use Cetaphil moisturiser and a vitamin E oil. Please help me stop it. Can the skin thicken back up?
Avatar f tn I have never had any issues with my skin and I have read that seborrheic dermatitis is strongly related to HIV, i also have red eyes and frequent migraines. When do HIV patients start developing seborrheic dermatitis? What other symptoms are developed with it? When performing my last test alcohol was not completely dry on my finger + the final reading was before the 20 minutes mark set by the manufacturer.

If you're not allergic to Aloe then you may want to buy an Aloe plant cut the leaf open and apply the Aloe directly to the affected areas. My sister who has very eczema use to do use the vitamin e capsules.

Avatar f tn Let me say that I have no health insurance so I did not see a doctor at first. So anyway I tried vitamin E and the next thing I know my entire nose is red and peeling and bleeding in spots. So I go to a Dr and he says I have contact dermetitis and gives me a script for prednisone. IT WORKS! But of course I have to stop the script and wean off it. The stuff on my nose comes back. It is bumpy and red and the skin feels tight and it is painful. Can anyone help?
Avatar f tn If that is helpful you could take magnesium supplements like mag citrate and vitamin D3. We are so deficient in vitamins and minerals now that the soil is so depleted. So that's why we get skin problems.
1661017 tn?1302629897 The other possibility is of seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky, dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp under the nose or anywhere on face. People with seborrheic dermatitis produce too much sebum (the natural skin oil). It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn Hi The presence of red bumps and blisters on the hairline may be a case of seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis or folliculitis. Seborrheic dermatitis may present with greasy scales that may be itchy. Psoriasis presents as white scales that may be associated with pinpoint bleeding when the scales slough off. Folliculitis presents with reddish bumps that involve the hair follicles. Fungal infections may also present similarly in some cases.
Avatar f tn d encourage a less rigorous treatment to the delicate skin and use a vitamin-e based eye cream. Hope you find relief soon!
Avatar f tn ve been taking flax oil daily and using pure vitamin E oil on my eyelids and undereye area. Since it was a rollerball application, I also applied it to my lips too. Now the edges of my lips are red and itchy as well. This is what leads me to believe it might be a fungal infection, not eczema. I don't really have any sort of eye issues in terms of ooziness or anything, although when I took anti-itch eye drops, they hurt. It's not a makeup allergy.

Avatar n tn Hi, I have been getting electrolysis on my face and have recently been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if the Seborrheic dermatitis may have been caused by the damaging of the hair follicles. I have very mild seb derm but it flares up about four days after an electrolysis session on my face. Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn Hello, It looks like seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is believed to be an inflammatory reaction related to the proliferation of normal skin habitant Malassezia – a yeast, which produces toxic substances that infect and irate the skin. The disease is neither contagious nor related with diet but it may be aggravated by other illness like Psychological stress, immune compromised patients, neurological diseases like Parkinsonism and stroke.
Avatar f tn Hence if your child is school going then it is unlikely to be seborrheic dermatitis. However it is often hereditary and if you have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis, then your child carries the risk of having it in future life during adulthood. Moreover it causes redness and inflammation of skin with yellow patches or red, greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales. Hence it is unlikely to be seborrheic dermatitis in your child’s case but confirmation needs to be done.
Avatar n tn if someone has seborrheic dermatitis around his lips and chin, does it means he has HIV, or is seborrheic dermatitis a normal skin condition that affect many people.
Avatar m tn I was told by my dermo that I had Seborrheic dermatitis. It was dry itchy and scaly under my beard, in the nose folds, ears and eyebrows. I was given desonate gel to use for 2 weeks and things calmed down. However now I just have a redness itchy forehead. I put moisture cream o it and it doesnt really help. Is this still donsidered Seborrheic dermatitis? And would the desonate gel still be the right rx to use?

Avatar m tn the most common symptoms of atopic dermatitis are dry, itchy, red skin and seborrheic dermatitis causes flaky,dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas. My sincere advice is to get a biopsy skin done from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn You can also take vit B6 and vit A and E which are good for hair and skin. Try medicated shampoos for dandruff. There are a number of over-the-counter shampoos available that can help. The most effective ingredients -- antimicrobials -- to look for are zinc pyridinethione, selenium sulfide, sulfur and ketoconazole (also available by prescription). If your hair is colored, don't use products with selenium sulfide or sulfur.
Avatar n tn It is now several years later and SD is still with me off and on and I never had it before the encounter and I am experiencing no other symptoms. I have also had anxiety ever since the encounter and have gained 20lbs. When during the course of HIV infection when does SD usually occur? My dermatologist says my SD is very mild and that it does not seem worriesome but is really starting to stress me out because I never had it before.
Avatar m tn Hi. Don't know what products you have tried but i will recommend some useful ones. The range by Eucerin is really good, they make a Redness relief cleanser and moisturizer. Lutsine also make a really effective cleanser and moisturizer for dry skin. Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream is also good for dry cracked peeling skin. All these products are available online or in stores. If the problem persists see your doctor for an evaluation of your skin condition.
Avatar n tn Differentials for scalp problems may include seborrheic dermatitis , tinea capitis and discoid lupus. These are just differentials and these may need to be excluded especially when this has been present for quite sometime.
