Derma Do - Born To be Mild - Anyone Using it?

Friday, October 20th, 2006

Ive been using this for a few days now and find it makes the SD parts
of my skin go realy red, it doesnt however dry my skin out (as the
product promises!)

I was wondering if this is a bad thing or could it just be the ZnP
working?

Has anyone been using this cleanser?

Seborrheic Dermatitis vs. Rosacea

Friday, October 20th, 2006

I’ve been going to diff dermatologists over the years and some say I
have rosacea and some say SD. How do I really tell? My gut says SD.
The only thing that seems to work is Hydrocortisone, but am worried of
long term effects of prolonged use. My affected area is the face and
it has gotten really red, really scaly, and itchy all over, if I don’t
use hydrocortisone. My primary care doctor prescribed metronidazole
cream and after the doctor visit, I remeber I used a long time ago and
it didn’t work. I recall that antiobiotics may actually flare up SD.
Any advice or OTC treatment for the redness and scaling? Also, the
only shampoo that seems to work for me is Head and Shoulders for SD.

Ciclopirox 1% Cleanser or Ketoconazole Foaming Gel

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Ive been using Nizoral to wash with lately but its far too drying on
my skin. Im looking for one of the above anti fungal cleansers, does
anyone know where to actually get them from?!

If not, can anyone suggest an alternative?

What effect has this group had for people?

Monday, October 16th, 2006

I just wondering, what effect has finding this group had on people?

What level of improvment have people had in their condition after
learning more about SD and available treatments etc from reading all
the posts?

I only found this group maybe 3 weeks ago and already i have alot more
confidence that i can put this thing into remission!

Im probs lucky in a way as i had only used steriods on my face (and
not potent steriods) for a month or two before reading about the dangers.

IPL For SD Redness?

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

Has anyone with SD or SD/Rosacea combo tried IPL to reduce redness?

What effect did IPL have on your SD?

I am still unsure whether i have SD or Rosacea or both so im going to
a Rosacea specialist next week so hopefully he might enlighten me!

voodoo?

greetings all - has anyone ever tried this?

I just ordered it - yikes.

I’ve been suffering for about 4 months with what
appears to be a stubborn case of Seb Derm in my scalp.

Getting diagnosed was an interesting experience, in
the Chinese sense.

I’ve tried everything, starting with home remedies,
then everything in ‘aisle 6′ at the drug store, to
super high potency cortico steroid shampoo (clobex) &
foam (luxiq & olux). Nothing really works. :(

Has anyone used this cream, if so what are your opinions of it. I am
looking for an anti fungal cream and im trying to see which is the
best to try.

Dermadoctor - Born to be Mild Cleanser

Saturday, October 14th, 2006

Has anyone used this cleanser daily for a period of a few weeks? if
so, what kind of results have you had?

I think this looks like a good alternative to washing with Nizoral etc
as they are far too drying for me to use every day on my face. Ive
ordered this a few days ago so il let people know how i get on with it.
