You may have some type of alopecia coupled with eczema or some other type of contact dermatitis/atopic dermatitis--just because you have problems on the scalp or face does not mean you have seb derm and if the only symptoms are itching and dry skin, I would think you do not have seb derm. Go see another doc first, especially about the hairloss because that can be permanent--when you call around for a derm, ask the receptionist nurse if the doc has extensive experience in hairloss/alopecia/dermatitis--some of these guys are second rate or just specialize in skin cancer and know squat about seb derm/rosacea/dermatitis and some are top notch and you don't want to waste your time and money finding the right one--sometimes it is still <!--more--> unavoidable but asking a few questions first may help narrow it down to one or two to choose from Are you male or female--could hairloss just be male pattern baldness and the itching/dry skin is just a coincidence?

Go see another doc first, especially about the hairloss because that can be
permanent–when you call around for a derm, ask the receptionist nurse if
the doc has extensive experience in hairloss/alopecia/dermatitis–some of
these guys are second rate or just specialize in skin cancer and know squat
about seb derm/rosacea/dermatitis and some are top notch and you don’t want
to waste your time and money finding the right one–sometimes it is still

unavoidable but asking a few questions first may help narrow it down to one
or two to choose from

Are you male or female–could hairloss just be male pattern baldness and the
itching/dry skin is just a coincidence?

I actully started out with extremely dry skin, but as I began to wash my face several times a day my face got more and more oily to the point I had to wash it several times at work, and I knew only Accutane could get this problem under control. And so it did. Oh yeah! I actully started out with extremely dry skin, but as I

A dermatologist diagnosed me with sebderm. She didn't ask me hardly any questions and didn't do any testing. I researched sebderm and found that I didn't have the "classic symptoms" of it. No oily skin, no flakes,scales,peeling,redness,rash blisters. My skin is very dry and itches and I have severe hair loss. I'm thinking I was misdiagnosed...I'm not sure. Thanks for the response…

But if you don't have rash, scales or flakes, then what makes you think you have seb derm--do you get redness at all--maybe you just have dry skin in the seb derm areas that could be treated with some good moisturizers-- Yes–I have very dry skin as well but still get seb derm flares.

But if you don’t have rash, scales or flakes, then what makes you think you
have seb derm–do you get redness at all–maybe you just have dry skin in
the seb derm areas that could be treated with some good moisturizers–
