Hello, this is my first thread based on my experience and desire to help people who have this and don't know how to deal with it, (I clarify that my dermatitis is mild-moderate) in case of more severe dermatitis I suggest you go to a dermatologist.
First of all, let's explain what that shitty condition is.
(seborrheic dermatitis) is a common, non-contagious skin condition causing flaky, oily, yellowish or white scales and redness, often on oily areas like the scalp (dandruff/cradle cap in babies), face (sides of nose, eyebrows, ears), and chest. It involves inflammation and is linked to skin yeast (Malassezia) and excess sebum, but its exact cause is unknown. While chronic, Yeah exactly, CHRONIC, you will live with this shit forever, but dont worry, this shit can be controlled by antifungals (ketoconazole, ciclopirox, selenium sulfide), anti-inflammatories (topical corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone, salicylic acid), and pain relievers (piroctone olamine, zinc), which i will mention after the symptoms.
Typically, someone with moderate to severe dermatitis on their face, specifically in the T-zone, will experience this. Why? Because this is the area where the most oil is produced, creating a more favorable environment for the Malassezia fungus, which causes flaking and redness. For better or worse, the immune system overreacts upon encountering this fungus, which is common in everyone, and attacks the affected areas to get rid of it. This leads to the aforementioned symptoms. This can also occur in the scalp.
Okay, now let's move on to the products that helped me during this time. For a long time, I thought I had dry skin—I'm stupid. I used CeraVe and all that crap for years, which made my skin worse. I'm going to share the products that helped me get rid of that crap permanently, at least temporarily.
Guys...this product was my savior in high school, it saved my messed up skin, seriously, from the first use it eliminates flaking and redness, and since it's a moisturizer, they should add it, oily skin NEEDS a moisturizer.
I'm currently using this cleanser to properly wash my face, as moisturizer alone isn't enough cleansing. I highly recommend it.
Now, for my hair, this stuff is a lifesaver, I won't lie. I went from having an irritated, red, flaky scalp that wouldn't go away with any generic anti-dandruff shampoo to, after using this, I could be dandruff-free for up to two weeks. It's definitely a good, long-lasting option.
Additional Tips
- Don't stress, as this will increase oil and cortisol production, further inflaming the affected area and causing it to return more severely.
- I recommend not using strong acids like 10% niacinamide or any other exfoliant frequently. You should know if your skin type might be sensitive to these products.
- Eating well can contribute to more manageable dermatitis due to its skin benefits.
- Use a good sunscreen to avoid irritating the affected areas.
- DO NOT SCRATCH under any circumstances; you will only irritate the area further.
In conclusion, if your seborrheic dermatitis doesn't clear up, or even worsens with the products I mentioned or similar ones, you might be dealing with something much more serious. In these cases, I recommend seeing a dermatologist. Thanks for reading.
