Seborrheic Dermatitis

The older members on this list have heard this from me before, but
for the newer members, here are some things that work for me. I’ve
had seb derm for 10 years - very oily, red skin, flaky around the
nose, eyes and mouth. I tried Nizoral, Desowen, shampoos, etc, but
the following has worked best for me:
1. Vitamin B5 therapy - high doses of B5 to reduce oil production.
It’s water soluble, so it’s safe to consume in these doses. Several

since my condition has gotten much worse, I feel totally
self-conscious and I find that I don’t have the confidence to date
people. I’m worried that if I get close to them they will be more
aware of what’s going on with my body and that will be an issue. Has

with this weirdness? I know that usu. people on here talk only about
treatments, but this is an important issue for me and any
help/thoughts would be appreciated. Take care. -Beth
