For those researching ‘natural cures’ I was just reading in the eczema
forum that tea tree cream worked for one woman. So whether it be apple
cider vinegar or tea tree cream, I guess there is something for
everyone.
I have tried similar things like you have suggegsted to no avail. I am
not giving in by any means, just frustrated. I think the main element
of seb derm is stress and judging on your work in an er enviroment I
wouls suggest you are tired and stressed after your shift?
I also work shift work and lack of sleep is no good fro the body to
heal and recover and therefore always have this terrible disease. I
have spent so much money on creams, tablets, you name it!
I am going to go and try a photoderm laser resurface for my face. I
hear that uv blue light is excellent for seb derm. This is really my
last hope for some systamatic relief.
Will let you all know how I go.
Hi. I just want to say hi and introduce myself. I am an rn in an er
and have in the past worked as the head nurse for one of the largest
allergy and asthma medical practices in the mid-west.. Never had a
skin problem. I think i had my only flare up of sd 5 yrs ago and it
was traumatic..all over my eyes and face..but it went away quickly
with ‘roids…now..it’s back. You would think i would have an
insiders knowledge into this red, burning , itchy junk..but i really
knew very little. I just started my second round of prednisone since
one of my eyes was almost swollen shut…3 of my ER docs were a
little stumped by it.. So, my type "A" personality kicked in and
boy, there’s a ton of info on the web…about 90% non-medical and
kinda hokey. I am glad i ran across this group so i can get some
ideas. After one day of research…i have a plan!! (I’m thinking
you can all read this and smirk on how nieve (ok i know i didn’t
spell that right but you know what i mean) i am!! i know i sound

to the group Neal, no need to lurk anymore! It’s so great to
have others to provide feedback with. I see you’ve also posted a
picture, such a happy family! Continue to keep us posted on your
progress or any helpful info you might come across.
The only thing that bothers me about experimenting with all the
different lotions, creams, ointments, shampoos, and on and on, is they
are simply prescribed to treat the symptoms but not the CAUSE of
seborrheic dermatitis. I realize it’s not on the level of cancer and
AIDS but I hope research is being devoted to this nasty disease.
My name is Aaron and I’ve had Seb-derm for about 3 years or so.
I am 26 years old. I have been reading the posts here for a while
but never posted myself til now. Although I haven’t tackled this
problem totally, I have made quite a bit of headway against it. I
don’t watch what I eat; but I don’t smoke or drink. I limited
taking my acid reflux medication (protonix) as this stops production
of stomach acid needed to absorb vitamin B6.
I started taking orange peel extract, apple cider vinegar
tablets, and wash my face twice a day. I take luke warm showers,
use head and shoulders (refresh mint) and alternate with a normal
shampoo so my scalp dosen’t get use to it. I try not to let things
stress me out, and don’t put anything on my face, besides lotion on
the dry flakes that I sometimes get after a shower and wipe it off
lightly with a kleenex. In the summer I use Ozone 70 Spf made by

I have sent an email to Dr. Nase but have not yet received a reply.
For those who have spoken with him, what is the best email address to
reach him? I used the one off of his Rosacea website. Thanks.
Hi
Just posted a picture of myself on here. Go to the link on the left and

I have included a photo of myself. To access, simply go to the menu on
the left hand side and click on ‘Photos’. Then select ‘zoo’. This was
taken approximately 5 years ago. The terrrible onset of my SD started
last year, so the evidence of red blotches and flaking are not yet a
part of my life. If I can obtain a digital camera I will take
something current, and also one that is close up. Figured this was a
starting point, though, to becoming acquainted with our members.
Hello, I was wondering if anybody had tried Blue Light Laser
treatment? I have read that people with Roscea and Ecxma have
benefited from it. I believe treatment is expensive, but does anybody
have any more info?
MiKE.
