seborrheic-dermatitis
Recently I had seborrheic dermatitis all over my forehead and decided to use nizoral shampoo to wash my forehead. It has been 4 days and the seborrheic dermatitis seems to have gone however my skin has become very fragile and peels all over my forehead. If I have a shower and dry my face and rub my finger across my forehead skin just starts to peel all over, I read that peeling skin is a severe side effect of 'Nizoral'.
on searching the web i feel that i may be suffering from Seborrheic Dermatitis and on going through a lot of forums i came across nizoral as a treatment for the problem.
what i would like to know is that-
1.Am i suffering from Seborrheic Dermatitis
2.is nizoral shampoo an effective remedy to the problem
3.can nizoral shampoo be applied to the face and how often.
It is not unsual for Seborrheic dermatitis(as it looks) to respond slow to nizoral creme.It is ideal to continue for sometime,as recommended.ok?
I dont know, but I would suggest you try Nizoral shampoo. You can also rinse your hair after your shower with about a tablespoon of white vinegar in a basin of cool water. I'd suggest washing the sink out with baking soda and water or vinegar to get the sink clean before putting the water in.
Hi, probably it is because of seborrheic dermatitis, you might be having acne problem. In some people, a yeast (fungus) called malassezia grows in the sebum along with bacteria. Antifungal treatments, such as ketoconazole (Nizoral), are often effective.
“Try using the shampoo daily until your symptoms are controlled, then cut back to two or three times a week.
Hello,
It can be due to 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. You can treat flaking and dryness with over-the-counter dandruff or medicated shampoos. Shampoo the hair vigorously and frequently (preferably daily). Active ingredients in these shampoos include salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc, resorcin, ketoconazole, or selenium.
You might have seborrheic dermatitis on your scalp. I have it and if i don't shampoo my hair daily my head itches and gets alot of flakes. My derm suggested that I buy a shampoo containing ketoconazole. I use Nizoral, It doesn't clean very well but seems to deal with the flaking fairly well.
I do have dandruff in my hair. I was diagnosed with Seborrheic Dermatitis by my dermatologist at the age of 21. Not knowing any better when I was younger I tried everything over the counter for acne, but I didn't have acne. I definitely do not have rosacea because I never got pustules.
I have tried:
Metrogel
Finacea
Desonate
Nizoral Shampoo on my face
head and shoulders on my face
and Desonide lotion.
the only thing that works is desonide lotion.
I’ve seen multiples dermatologists about this problem to no avail. Over the past 2-3 years, I’ve been getting these extremely itchy pimples randomly on my forehead and, on rare occasions, other t-zone areas. The areas start out very much like a hive (red, blotchy, extremely itchy skin), but, unlike hives, end up leaving a red papule with the occasional white center that stick around for days to weeks.
Since my symptoms began, I noticed that my hair has began to thin on my scalp. One doctor diagnosed me to have contact dermatitis and the second seborrheic dematitis. They said to use nizoral shampoo and advantan/betnovate. However,I don't have a scaly scalp/dandruff and haven't come into contact with a contaminant. The medications don't seem to have made a difference.I researched thoroughly and think I may have folliculitis, I was wondering what your opinions are please?
It sounds like seborrheic dermatitis, which is an inflammatory version of dandruff. I have it in my eyebrows -- it's white and flaky, with no redness until recently, and it started off in one part of one eyebrow, and then it spread. Now recently it has spread to my entire eyebrow. I've tried a lot of things. Using Nizoral shampoo once a day seems to help a little. I also take the following supplements: evening primrose oil, multivitamins, cod liver oil, and sometimes, probiotics.
I had this. It seemed to be seborrheic dermatitis, and seemed to respond best to Nizoral shampoo, but I don't know how your hair type would like that shampoo. If diluted white vinegar isn't too drying, you could try rinsing with that. I cannot use any conditioner as it causes problems for me, blocking pores. I also found out I have celiac disease, so it was a side effect of digestive malabsorption. So find out if you have any intestinal problems going on.
I had seborrheic dermatitis for 7 years now and because of that i had to use Corticosteroid , but unfortunately i did not know about the side effects of that and i used it on the scalp and bear for many years , now that i am 31 i was diagnosed with rosacea, i was wondering can this be steroid induce rosacea and if yes would it go away.
They called it possibly psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis, but it might have been dermatitis herpetiformis, which goes with Celiac disease. My scalp still isn't normal, so you do not want to scratch and you want to find out if gluten or other problem foods are the cause, and also rule out any other problems with your digestive tract if they convince you you don't have Celiac disease. Problems with digestion come out in your skin.
Hello,
It can be due to dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis. Dandruff can cause either an overly dry scalp with itchy white flakes that may be waxy or greasy, or it can manifest as an oily scalp with scales.
Seborrehic dermatitis, also called adult cradle cap is usually caused by overgrowth of Malassezia furfur. This skin disease is aggravated by sweating and humidity. I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist and get the diagnosis confirmed. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Selenium sulphide while is good for seborrheic dermatitis could well cause an irritant dermatitis in some.Your doctor will be adept in handling, by giving hydrocortisone creme if he deems it fit.
This may not be true in all cases but they usually present as reddish rash that may eventually thicken and scab. Also, seborrheic dermatitis may present with an oily or greasy scale or flake. The underlying cause for seborrheic dermatitis is not very clear although stress seemed to have been associated with it.
Would you note similar lesions in other parts of the body (scalp, area near the navel, chest)?
Any problems with your nails?
Any one in the family with similar lesions ?
My dermatologist said it was seborrheic dermatitis, gave me fluocinolone ointment and nizoral shampoo. The ointment works well on my face but nothing has calmed down my scalp- the patches have gotten worse and I'm flaking constantly. Additionally, I've been having a lot of nail changes- in particular, I had two fingernails partially separate from the bed (both have resolved since) and discoloration (dark pink/red) and thickening of one of my toenails.
She did not think that I have scalp psoriasis. She said that what I have is seborrheic dermatitis. Still, she prescribed me a generic form of the Olux mousse (.05% clobetasol) and told me to use it for two weeks. She said that I didn't have to worry about a "rebound reaction" when coming off it because she didn't think I had psoriasis. And of course, she gave me a ton of coupons and free samples of the medicines.
It sounds and looks like something I've had for awhile called seborrheoic dermatitis. I use Nizoral shampoo once a week or so for my scalp, but you'll need to use a special prescription cream for the facial areas, like something like Protopic. It's bloody expensive, but it really works. I put a little on whenever I start to get red and flaky and usually it's gone in a day, and then I don't need to use it again.
I was diagnosed by my dermatologist as having Seborrheic Dermatitis however all medications that I have tried have not been working so my doctor has precribed quite a strong medication called Azapress (a generic medication for Imuran). Thus, my questions are as follows:
1. Will this disease ever go away?
2. What is the success rate for this medication to deal with Seborrheic Dermatitis and what are other options?
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.
