My face has been clear since last week and a half after a week of that but I know that it will surface again. Now you suggested mild steroids and antifungals - what particular items are best? I am willing to spend the money if its a sure tail thing that it will work.
Avatar f tn Ketoconozole shampoo should help hair. I used a brand called Nizoral for years and it was the first thing I used that helped. You could also add some drops of tea tree oil to a regular shampoo. I can't use conditioner of any kind because it annoys my scalp. I get relief by soaking my scalp in a solution of warm water and Epsom salts though. If that is helpful you could take magnesium supplements like mag citrate and vitamin D3.
Avatar f tn You could try neem soap or tea tree oil soap. Also white vinegar dabbed on face at night. It causes temporary redness, so night is best.
Avatar m tn I wouldn't use tea tree oil on your face and neck like this. It can be really irritating. If you want SK treated, see a dermatologist.
Avatar m tn ve been bagging my clothing, changing clothes multiple times per day and vacuuming and doing laundry daily and self-treating with a series of prescriptions and over-the-counter medications and supplies such as tea tree oil and coconut oil (applied to the skin) and bathing nightly in borax/epsom salts water (5x/week) and dilute bleach (2 x/week).
Avatar m tn Hello, 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). Later, pityrosporum yeast grows excessively in the sebum, sometime along with bacteria, making the dermatitis more persistent.
Avatar n tn t work either but rather made it worse. I recently acquired some tea tree oil lotion which is a 15% solution with alchohol, purified water, and emulsifier, and rubbed some into the sides of my nose before going to bed. It simply got worse. I'm fed up witht his problem, and its making my life simply unbearable. I used to be an outgoing person who enjoyed being around people, but now I'd rather hide myself away from the world.
Avatar n tn I also went to a Natural Grocer Store and bought Aftrican Black Soap which is extremely gentle on the skin and did not irritate the rash and Organic cold pressed Coconut oil and mixed Tea Tree Oil in it. (I used about 2 TBS of coconut oil with 3-5 drops of Tea Tree Oil) I washed my face morning and night and then applied the blend of Coconut oil and Tea Tree oil to my face before bedtime.
Avatar f tn I have tried mixing baking soda with my face wash and using tea tree oil as a toner. They both seem to somewhat help, but my acne still looks very bad. I can only do baking soda once a week or every few days since it is so harsh, so I have been using tea tree oil on the off days. I am not sure if I am using too many products on my skin, but today it was flaking off like dandruff. I had very clear skin before the rash, and now it looks like I have severe acne.
Avatar f tn Low potency topical glucocorticoids are usually recommended first for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis. These treatments are available in creams and lotions for the face. The topical steroid should be applied daily until the dermatitis improves; they can then be gradually discontinued. If it persists, it would be best to see your dermatologist for further evaluation and management. Take care and keep us posted.
6191629 tn?1379509587 Not entirely convinced of this but will see the result of Betnovate for the 5cm lesion on my hip and Dermol emulsion for the leg. As for my face I am using Tea Tree oil and hydrocortisone. I just wondered if I could have an immune problem.
Avatar f tn I have extremely dry scalp all over that flakes and itches so bad. I've tried Head 'n' Shoulders, Selsen Blue, Green Tea Tree Oil...everything...when I initially wash my hair it works. But by that evening or the next morning it's back. When I try to use conditioners to help, my hair gets so oily I can't stand it. I don't blow dry my hair anymore because it makes it worse faster. I'm just at a loss of what to else to do to make it go away!!
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 n tn (i was on antibiotics for months for lyme disease...it wreaked havoc on mine) it seems tea tree oil helps... my doctor seems to think i'm crazy... so i'm looking for a new one... I hope this helps...

Avatar n tn Hi Doctor, I have a bad case of seborrheic dermatitis in my eyebrows. I tried Desonide, which helped, but when I switched to Elidel, it wasn't successful in controlling my seb derm. And my derm told me to switch back to desonide. ~10 days, twice daily desonide ~2-3 weeks twice daily Elidel ~10 days twice daily desonide+salycylic acid, 6% ~a few days Elidel My treatment has probably gone on for a little over six weeks total (which is what's listed about). 1.

Avatar m tn Dandruff on the face is characteristic of seborrheic dermatitis. It can be treated with selsun lotion (or shampoo) rubbed onto your rash. Persons with HIV can get severe seborrheic dermatitis but most people with seborrhea do not have HIV. that your seborrheic got worse is no reason for concern. 2. Did anyone ever got HIV from this sort of exposure No, not ever. 3. Do you believe vinyl glove will provide protection against infection and would oil temper it.

Topical antifungals and mild steroids are the usual treatment and combination of the two can be used to treat stubborn patches.
Avatar n tn SD is a non dangerous disease, but it makes outlook of the person to loose all his/her confidence level of the life and keeps the person busy in removing the flakes from his skin for all 24 hours. I had this disease for the past 15 years and tried all zinc tablets, Shampoo, all type of doctors, but no use. Finally now i am trying Homeopathy now and presently i am very much satisfied with the results.
