It seems to do a reasonable job, however for me it tends to almost create more flakiness look...like it will pull up part of some dead skin that wasn't loose before, but the other part is holding on fast. So it gets rid of stuff that's really loose, but it seems to loosen up other stuff. I do it every once and awhile, but have never tried it by itself with water before as one of the links in one of these replies suggests.

I leave it on for two or three hours each evening. So far, it is the best treatment for seb derm i have found. I found anti-fungal creams all made my skin much sorer.

Really there should be no harm in trying it, I doubt baking soda will irritate the skin or in any other way cause problems. Maybe I will try it as a cleanser a couple of nights. Thank you for the tip, Mads Hi,

I dont think baking soda is effective. I would say see your doc and get one of the anti fungals dr Nase recommends. Dirt cheap is not a good argument, I dont think money is the most important thing in the fight against seb derm. But if baking soda was effective AND cheap, that would be good, but I dont think it would be effective. Check out the new treatments listed by Dr Nase.

You simply take it out of the jar, add a dot of water to help it spread, and put it on your face. I have had seb derm for 21 years. Recently the heat/flushing associated with the affected areas was getting insufferable. Couldn't go in my car without the air con on. I have now stopped using all moisturisers and cleansers. For the first two weeks I used Jojoba oil as a simple moisturiser. Now, all I use is honey. I went through a week of a scabby face but then it flaked off and didn't come back. I shower in the am, use head and shoulders, put the honey on at night and wash off with water. That's it! <!--more--> I can honestly say my skin is better than it has been for ages. The heat sensitivity has reduced enormously. No scabbing. Some very light flaking in my eyebrows but not really much more than when I moisturised daily. If you try this, be sure to buy the cold-pressed unprocessed honey that has the enzymes in. (I get mine from a Health Food shop for about 11GBP).

My only confusion was that there were about 10 different flavors of honey. Anyway, I also noticed that my grocery store carries crude honey as well. You have to look carefully but it was there.
