seborrheic dermatisis

[suja273]

Hi,

Aug 07, I got 11/2 inch red skin on my forehead. Dr. prescribed desonide lotion 0.05% (morning)and ketoconazole cream 2%(night) I applied 4 to 6 weeks but it did't gone. This year summer it was ok but last 3weeks it is expanding and now I have on my ears and nose. I am really worried about my kids and I am 36yrs female. How to control this? I
stopped eating sugars, oily food and carbs. Some times its too dry or too oily.

Can I comment?. I dont have SD anymore. I found a herd cream in my country and i am home free. I realise that the cause of SD is due to low immune system in our body and mainly related to the liver. So if you keep taking the....nazoles, its going to be difficult to solve your problem as the root of the cos is due to the weak liver. That is why it keeps coming back and its good during summer but bad again after sunset. Sorry this is traditional Chinese's medicine. Sorry if i offend anyone, especially the doctor. My apologies, again. Pls forget abt ACV.

Hello,

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp or inside the ear. It can occur with or without reddened skin.

Treatment of seborrheic dermatitis includes shampoos containing coal tar, ciclopiroxolamine, ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione, keratolytics such as salicylic acid or coal tar preparations , topical terbinafine solution, lotions containing alpha hydroxy acids or corticosteroids , milk of magnesia ,isotretinoin and UV-A and UV-B light.

Pls discuss these options with your dermatologist and see which one works the best for you.

I hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
