Around my nose and eyelids
Hi all
I’m new here but not new to message boards so forgive me for not
really searching this group 1st. I am just so fed up with the SD on
my nose, eyelids, and in my ears. I’ve tried cortisone creams, OTC
and RX by doctor. I use 99% Aloe vera gel to help soothe it, but it
won’t really calm it down much. I am from Canada and nobody here
ever heard of ZNP soap. Does it work? Anybody try it? A drug store
here suggested I try a mild facial wash with tea tree oil in it? I
just get so frustrated with it. It affects my nose mostly as far as
redness/flaking cycle goes. Heavy, continual crusty skin that
flakes really easy off my nose and leaves redness. My doctor tells
me its sebderm. How can one tell the real difference between rosacea
and sebderm? Sorry for long post.

Hi Jerry,
The rosacea skin should be much more red while seb derm
skin is just pink, less red than rosacea skin.
I tried ZNP soap bar before, good stuff, it works, but
not 100%. There is no cure for SD, nothing can clean it
up 100%.

Thanks Yvonne.
My SD usually comes on during stressful times and I am under a lot
of stress. I also have gastroparesis and GERD, so my lack of proper
nutrition could play a role. I dunno. I’m 45 and I feel like a
teenager with low self esteem because of my flare ups. I notice I
get very self conscious of it. Have you ever heard of jojoba oil
soothing it?

You are welcome Jerry.
I heard of aloe extracts and jojoba oil soothing SD,
some people got good result with either one of them
but some people found them not working well.

Hi
I cant help but feel your GERd is contributing to your seb derm. I have
researced this a lot, and seb derm has many fungal/candida links, as does
GERD. I think if you looked into this and addressed your stomach condition,
you might have found your triggor. I reguarly read a bbs by doctor walt
stott and have learnt a lot about the roots of skin conditions. If you do a
web search for ASK WALT STOTT you will find his site listed. Many users
have noted that taking omega oils enternally, clearing candida and leaky gut
and also using jojoba oil externally helps seb derm. Type in seborrhea in
the search engine of the site and lots of useful posts should come up.I
believe that if the body is balance, seb derm will not occur.

Thanks all for the info! I am doing the research now. Just wanted to
calm it down on the outside for now while I began working on the
inside too.
