Seborrheic Dermatitis

Has anyone tried Clinac O.C.? It is supposed to
absorb and suspend sebum without drying the skin.
Here’s an excerpt on it:

A fabulous NEW product to help control excess facial
oiliness. Makes use of a new technology called a
"Copolymer" to effectively and quickly reduce facial
oiliness. Works invisibly to absorb 20 times it´s
volume of oil. This product is designed to absorb oil
without drying the skin. It therefore will reduce "the
shine" without causing irritation.

May be used by patients with acne, rosacea, eczema as
well as those post Accutane who continue to experience
some oiliness.

First time I tried it was last night, and this morning the redness
was all cleared up. Does anyone have the same outcome when using this
suff?

If you receive two of these messages, please forgive me. I wrote one
and clicked Post instead of Send and I think it erased it. So here
goes again.
I went to a homeopath when I was first diagnosed with sebderm. He
said it was mostly in my head and "prescribed" a ton of vitamins and
said to cut out dairy and carbs. I followed the plan for about a
month, but the sebderm just got too bad, so I had to use Nizoral and
Desowen. When they worked, I dropped the plan.
I went to another homeopath a couple of years ago during a bad flare.
He said my spine was out of alignment and my bodily fluids and oils
were too acidic. So he gave me chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture
and a similar diet. My back felt better, but it didn’t have an effect
on the seb derm. He wanted me to follow an ever stricter diet, but it
was too extreme (no processed food at all). I went back to Nizoral
and it worked.

Has anyone on the list ever had microdermabrasion? I
want to get it, but I want to make sure it won’t make
my condition worse.

What kind of an effect does these kind of treatments have on
seborreic dermatitis? Do they make it better or worse?

Finally!

Here is the link:

No doubt derms are going to think that this drug is overkill for seb derm so
now comes the hard part, trying to get it and have insurance cover the cost!

I have a lot of faith that this drug has the ability to put us into extended
periods of remission.

hi all,

i pretty much have my seb derm under control now. unfortunately, the redness is
still pretty much the same. i have been trying a facial redness remedy
containing vitamin k but it doesn’t seem to be doing much. does anyone have any
tip and other things to try?

i thought that the redness would be relieved with the control of the sebderm.

cheers,

Check out this link. It’s a psoriasis help site. There’s info on skin
problems and treatments, including Enbrel and Amevive.

Hey guys about a week ago, somebody on here posted that for their seb derm
they are using a Green Tea Wash. Just wanted to let you guys know that
after 3 days of trying this, it really works. Every night before going to
bed, I boil 1 green tea bag in about 45 ml of water (half a shot glass) I
let it cool a bit and with the bag I dab it on my face where the seb derm
is. I let it dry, and the face should feel tight. Before finally sleeping
I apply DML moisturizer and then the same moisturizer in the morning, cause
the face will get dry, without the moisturizer flakes are guaranteed to
occur. Either i use DML moisturizer or this Neem Oil moisturizer that i got
from the health store. I love it, this way i dont have to use that steroid
on my face

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my last message and
especially to those who responded.

I’m sorry if I sounded too gloomy. Having skin problems is more
than
discouraging enough, and I didn’t mean to discourage anyone even
more.

But I do think we have to be realistic. In my opinion the best that
dermatologists will do for us is offer temporary relief from some of
the symptoms until we can find something that can resolve our skin
conditions. At best, the approach that dermatologists take is a stop
gap approach. As we know, their treatments lose effectiveness over
time and long term use of what they prescribe can cause harm. (For
instance, long term use of steroids and antibiotics.) And who knows
