i am severely depressed
because I have seborrheic dermatitis on my face and scalp. I've had this condition for 4yrs and nothing has really worked to clear it up. I've tried hyrdrocortisone, nizoral shampoo.. Ect.. Ect. I've also tried putting olive oil and black seed oil on my face, sadly it didnt help. I've bought multi-vitamins, I didnt see no difference. I seperately bought vitamis b5, c, d, a, zinc, biotin, and a bottle that contained all the b-vitamins(b-complex). I also tried fish oil capsules, I didnt see no difference. I tried different anti-dandruff shampoo on scalp i.E. Head'n'shoulders, selsum blue. Nizoral used to work the best but it no longer works as well as it use to.
Enough of my babble----i was wondering if anyone new about any new treatment for seborrheic dermatitis or any treatment that works for that matter???????????????????????? Any reply would be greatly appreciated!

Hey
i flew all the way to london,england to see a homeopath. I was told to take these pills(cant remember what they were called). He also advised me to buy an aloe vera gel/cream to rub on my face. Before I got the aloe vera I decided to go into a homeopathic store and I stupidly bought this cream that supposedly was to help my condition. The cream had borage in it which i've heard is helpful for my condition. I began this routine where I would take 2pills a day. I would put on the aloe vera in the morning and the borage cream at night . Anyway, it didnt help at all. In fact I got a huge rash that took weeks to disappear. I sunk into a deeper depression. All in all I would say not a good experience.
This condition has caused me nothing but grief
. My skin never gave me any trouble for 17yrs. I use to have an active social life and now i've become the queen of anti-social. I dropped out of university, and I cant work due to anxiety brought on by this condition. Basically, I no longer leave my house period.
Any positive suggestions would be welcomed.

i am sorry that you could not be helped by the prescription of that particular homoeopath. But I am sure after proper perusal of your symptoms and the stage of the skin condition homoeopathy would still be your best bet.
