the sun
I have a question that’s been with me since I got this damn
disease. The very first time I noticed my seb serm was a trip I took
to the middle east. The first couple of weeks were fine, but one
day, I layed down in the sun and fell asleep, foolishly thinking I
could tan. I woke up about an hour or so later, thought I just had a
case of sunburn, (you can see where this is going), and tried to
moisturize it anyway possbile. This usually involved just splashing
water on face. Well, suffice to say, this "sunburn" has of course,
never gone away, and seven irritating years later, I’m here right now.
Anyway, what I really want to know is the connection between
seb derm and the sun. Has anybody else first developed seb derm
after lying in the sun? Has there been any research on this? If any
of you get sunburned, are the flakes any different from seb serm
flakes? If anybody has any info or experiences with this, let me
know.

Once after using a particular liquid soap, i got this
nasty flare, to the point the skin become completely
unelastic and harsh and i could barely turn my neck.
My dermathologist said me that the mix of the soap
with the sun (i used the soap to wash my face)
produced a toxic reaction. He said that the peril fo
this reactions is that if they are not treated
promptly, then tend to agravate the seb derm (possibly
deriving into other diseases as rosacea). So as a
emergency treatment he applied me the mildest
corticosteroid on the market (hidrocortisone, the one
used for baby skin)
and other stuff i dont quite remember. After a week,
when my skin become to normal levels (still having
normal seb derm, but at least lot better than after
the skin intoxication) we started a treatment based on
coal tar gel based capilar lotion (10% for the skin
and 20% for the scalp). This in itself is a treatment
more for the psoriasis type of skin diseases, and its
an unusual treatment for seb derm. However that worked
great, to the point that after two years i continue my
coal tar treatment every two to three days and has
stabilized finally my seb derm to an acceptable level

Sun and salt water do wonders for me, have to hit the beach at least once a
week.

I think sunburns and such are incredibly damaging long term to the
skin and has probably been a big cause of some of the skin problems I
have now. It just ain’t a good idea to get a sunburn under any
circumstance. Having said that, I think some controlled sun exposure
does help the skin…well at least my seb derm. If I’m going to be
out in the sun for any length of time though, I wear sunscreen.
Sunburn…bad.
