Birth control pill and seb derm
Contolling oil production in the skin is
a small part of helping seb derm.The cure
for seb derm will come when researchers can
understand why people with dandruff and seb
derm have such a fast turnover of skin cells.
Normal skin keratinisation is 28 days.People
that suffer from dandruff alone are 16 days.
And people with seb derm are between 8 and 10
days.Such a short lifespan of skin cells makes
it difficult for the dead skin at the surface to
break away from the newer skin underneath.

Just wondering, you say controlling oil production
is a small part of helping seb derm. But in an eariler
post you say how much 4 grams of b5 has helped you.
Which controls oil….seems like controlling oil
is more then just a small part of helping.

I just want to clarify a few things from previous
posts that some people may have misinterprited.I
had my seb.derm totally under control long before
we all learned the benefits of B5 in controlling
oily skin.This was done mainly from my diet and
cleansing.I had very oily skin at this time
and I still cleared my skin totally of seb.derm.
I will repeat this from a previous post that B5 is
great because it reduces sebum which fungus can thrive
on and so many people with seb derm have overactive
sebacious glands.But even without B5 seb.derm can be
totally controlled.But I would advise anyone with oily
skin and seb.derm to include B5 in their regime to
beat seb.derm. The more armour you use against this infection
the better.
