I woke up this morning, day #2 of my Protopic use, and
my skin looks awesome. There is no trace of sebderm,
just a very slight pinkness. As we all unfortunately
know, most things don’t continue to work after a
while, but I certainly hope that isn’t the case here.
NOTHING has helped my skin like this in the past!
Anyone who hasn’t tried Protopic, get on the phone to
the doc and have them call in a prescription for you.
This stuff is a damn oily mess, but it WORKS!

Question for those who have tried Protopic: Does this
continue to work?

Hi All!

In as brief as possible…I had been told by a dermatologist about 15
years ago (when I was 17) that I have seborrheic dermatitis and I
will have it for the rest of my life (it seems that I have also
passed this on to my 2 daughters since they have small signs of what
I had as a child). I get it so severe on my scalp that it reddens and
is inflamed, it gets infected resulting in large areas oozing and
itchy and sticky, my lymph nodes at the base of my skull in the back
of my neck swell to almost golf ball size, and I lose lots of hair
when it is bad (right now I have lost a lot of hair and have some
spots I have to try to cover up with other hair). I HATE IT!!! The
only thing I have figured out with mine is it gets real bad when I am
under a lot of stress. When it first showed it’s real nasty side I
was 17 and getting married and was under tremendous stress with my

I just came from the derm and he gave me some
Protopic. I am wondering if there are folks in the
group who have used/are using Protopic who could check
in with a status report on their experience with
Protopic. Any caveats or helpful hints? Success,
failure, aggravation, joy? I really hope this stuff
works, but the ingredient list made me nervous –
mineral oil & petrolatum base? Won’t that create an
oil slick on its own? Any info/pointers will be appreciated.

Have you heard about this new treatment for psoriasis? Perhaps it
will be helpful for seb derm as well.

Hi everyone,

A while ago I posted here to say that I am trying out a new
ointment. After using it for a month or so I am very glad to say
that it works well for me. I used to have lots of sebum and black
head on my nose AND most of the pores will have a little disgusting
pimple. Now, most are cleared except for a few at the side of my
nose and the blackheads are no longer there. Pls pray for me that I
have finally found something that seem to work.

The ointment I am using is Protopic Ointment (tacrolimus) 0.1% and
this
particular tube was brought back from Japan and a week ago, a friend
from Taiwan found it in Taipei as well. I am not able to get it from
my home country as it has not been registered with our Ministry of

well, havn’t posted in a long time. i’m at college right now and
for a while my seb derm was terrible. i’ve also had another gastro
intestinal upset, the one where i puke uncontrolably for hours. i’m
starting to think i have more than just regular seb derm. i think i
have a vitamin deficiency of some kind because i have red patches of
skin all over my body, and my derm told me seb derm gets better with
sunlight, mine only seems to worsen. i started taking niacin, 500
mg a day and i’ve been noticing some strange changes. the skin on my
arms and legs that have been red or brown are starting to dry up
turn to a white powder, no real results on my scalp or face though,
but maybe it takes a while.

anyway, wanted to tell everybody about it. not sure if it’s going
to do anything but i think i’ll take it for a month and see what
happens.

As Tim Pointed out, the group have been alive for two years now and
I’d also like to thank everyone out there for sharing their thoughts
and experiences with seb derm.

I’ve been on Accutane since December 2002 and will now stop, I just
hope the oil-reducing effects will last. Despite all this I can’t
seem to get rid of this annoying redness, it’s not much, my
girlfriend said she hadn’t even noticed it, but I can see it and I’m
thinking of maybe using laser to reduce, or even better - remove, the
redness. This redness is what stands in my way of being completely
free of any seb derm-symptoms..

Hang in there, everyone..

Today is the second anniversary of the sebderm mailing list. Thank
you all for your contributions. We now have 264 members, not bad for
2 years. Although there’s no magic cure (yet) for this condition, I
hope that this list has provided you with new treatment ideas and
alternatives. I like to think that we’re all a little better off as
members of this list.
Thanks again,
Tim
