you might consider,w hat other conditions could cause similar symptoms.
Hi yes it is a daily and embarassing struggle for me! Steroids selsun blue ketokonazole nothing helps..have u had any relief?
I am currently using Derma-Smoothe-FS Scalp Oil for the the same condition you described. I've only used it for 5 days now, but I am seeing a change in my scalp. No itching, scales, or dryness.
i know what you are going through. do you talk to anyone about this? i feel when i talk to people i get more depressed. because they don't know what i am going through. i told a person and now i am paradoid she is staring at my head all the time. i think its best to talk to people that are going through the same thing. my best friend and my family are the only ones i tell things to or my kids. if you need someone to talk to write me back. i know exactly what you are going through. also tell me a little about yourself.
Hi.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition which appears to be associated with environmental and stress related factors. Lack of sleep, emotional stressors and even weather have been implicated. There is no definite cure for seborrheic dermatitis. Vigorous and frequent shampooing seem to be the therapy of choice." The type of shampoo used is less important than the aggressiveness and the frequency with which it is applied". Shampooing should last for at least 5 minutes. Topical corticosteroids may be necessary for more severe cases. This may be applied after shampooing. For some, trying to avoid too much stress and other triggers like extreme temperature changes may help. Others would resort to behavioural therapy as this may seem to benefit some patients.

I wouldn't call it shedding, but my hair does come out when I pick at the scales, which I try not to do. From what I remember my hair has pretty much stayed the same texture.
I've read one day that the DS could be started by emotional stress. But I prefer to wait for a doctor's response for your question.
Do you have hair shedding? Did you hair changed its texture so far?
Bests,
