Seborrheic Dermatitis

Hello i am a 30 year old wife and mother who has been suffering with this problem for the past 2 winters. i finally found out on my own what it was and after taking the information to my doctor had it confirmed. i am doing ok with the news i guess this problem on a whole sucks i hate it and i keep trying to be thankful that at least for some part of the year i will clear up and get to look normal. i know in some cases this is not true so i am at least thankful for that. because of my doctor explaining to me that holistic medicine maybe where i would find more help i have gone that route and have found some relief. i have lost 30lbs in the last 3 weeks from cutting out all sugar ,white flower and yeast products which for those of you who don’t know means i eat pretty much nothing but veggies and water!! no not really but in some ways this is true. i also take more supplements then i ever have in my whole life to help. it has help my brake out, this time it is a much more mild case then last year and started 2 months later because i had all ready started to change my diet, but once the rash came back i really got serious and have done a cleansing and try now to eat right.  even though i still  itch a lot i use the shampoo on my eyes and the backs of my hands and use a Bert’s bees cream to help try to sooth my skin.  i have only had one real bad day of crying and had a little pity party for my self but my husband who is great helped me through it and told me i was not a bad person for doing it i felt pretty stupid at first because i felt like hey there are people worse off then me who are really sick or hurt and i am crying because i itch and he said that i was very ok for me to lose it a little and that i was not taking anything from someone who was worse off then myself but that what i still got sucks and it hurts at times and i have had to change my whole life and give up thing i love to eat because of it so its ok to have a little pity party once in a while!  now its just nice to find others with ideas on how to handle this and just talk to.  i am happy i found you guys!! well that’s me and my story in a nut shell hope to talk to some of you look forwarded to reading your post!  Wendy!
