I have dandruff on my scalp and scaling on my face which to me is clearly sebderm. While I can almost completely eliminate the flaking and scaling, the redness on my face persists - even after I tried various treatments for rosacea (antibiotics, steroids, azelaic acid creams, etc). I think the redness is a rosacea problem, but I honestly don't know for sure. For me, the best I can do is keep my sebderm flaking under control, use plenty of sunscreen, and wash my face with Cetaphyl bar cleanser to reduce oils and irritation that make my redness worse. If you can find something that works in addition to this, I'm all ears! Jon I’ve been diagnosed with both sebderm and rosacea and/or BOTH,

As for me personally, I don't relaly have flakes but am very annoyed by redness. Do most of the treatments mentioned on this board deal with both or just one or the other? As for me, I've recently began using the Cutanix DRL substitute from skinactives to deal with the redness, but would love input from others. My SD is around my nose and I've tried hydrocortisone (quickly stopped after learning more about it), nizoral, loprox, elidel, ACV, and honey. I hope the pseudo-Cutanix works. Thanks.

Several other people on the list use it and it seems to work for them. I just started using it a couple of days ago, so I can't say for sure, but it seems to be helping a bit with redness and irritation.

There have been a lot of mentioning of it on this group, many people find it very helpful. It works to block inflammation and itching like a corticosteroid, with no side effects. I have been using it for quite a while, and am very pleased. If you have oily skin, try the oily skin version of the DRL, if you do not have oily skin, try the sensitive skin or the extra strength version. It works as a moisturizer as well, so that way you get two things in one lotion, reducing inflammation and adding moisture. Other than that, I find the Linda Sy Acne Cover Lotion to be very good. It is a lotion/liquid in skin colour containing sulfur. You <!--more--> apply this on your seborrheic red areas, and it will conceal it very nicely. I find sulfur to be a very good agent against seborrheic dermatitis. Linda Sy is a dermatologist with her own range of products, and I have found her very friendly and helpful. www.lindasy.com Dont hesitate to ask if you have any questions (use my email) Best wishes, Hi,
