Appreciate the input ! I’ve been dealing with this for almost 20 years without success. The topical creams I was given by my old dermatologist burned my skin so badly I never wanted to go back and try again.

been struggling with this for a decade. thank you for your advice!

My dermatologist has me rotate Head and Shoulders, Selson Blue, and Nizoral and that seems to work fine. This is for scalp. Also have issue around nostrils so I apply on that area too. Basically I treat for 5-10 min every 3-5 days. Using different shampoo each time. Nizoral does seem to be the best of the three so thats cool to see in this vid. And yes this dermatitis does flare in the winter. I think getting a few min of sun on the scalp helps too. For me the issue has settled down over last few years (am now doing a Mediterranean diet just for health but who knows). I still rotate the 3 shampoos but do shorter treatment times. Great vid and explanation. Thanks.

You are a star! Thanks for this! I have been looking for ever!

Thank you for your video and information man!

Thanks awesomely, thats very helpful and I really appreciate you sharing your experience.

You are a star bro, thank You very much for this video!

100% sorted me out dude... thank you!!!!!!

Appreciate this video, im gonna look into getting some of that 2% pyrithione zinc

Thank you for making this, I had the same thing.

As much as I have figured out Stress is the culprit which makes sebhorric dermatitis worse☹️😣

Your energy is calm and alluring. Thank you for sharing this ❤

Very helpful video! Thanks for these recommendations.

my dermatologists always said this thing basically never clears up and the best I could do is use the creams they gave me when it flares up. I've been through the ringer because of seb derm, and this video is actually very helpful, thank you for this!

Awesome tips brother, I also started getting sebderm on my face in my mid teens. Throughout my early/mid 20s and your bad flare ups were just a regular day for me for a while. I started taking skin care more seriously a couple years ago. I'm 29 now but still haven't found anything to get rid of it completely, but it's a lot better. Gonna try that face wash you recommended!

Thank you for this information ❤I needed this 🙏🏽

I use Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo For Normal To Oily Hair, which was more effective for me with less side effects than Ketoconazole. The sensitive version seems to lack some of the active ingredients of the normal-oily variant, so I wouldn't recommend that one unless you find it works for you. Thanks for the ZnP tip, I'll try that one.

Thank you for this information.

Good vibes, beautiful skin ❤ Thanks a lot 🙏

Thanks so much. I have had this condition for ages and still can’t get on top of it. This is awesome information.

❤ yes!!! that happens when next to rainy days also!

Bless you!! You have no idea how many times I have discussed my skin problems with doctors in Canada, also dermatologists. (the dermatologists did help with accutane) I got more information from you in this video on the seb derm!! Thank you for being a good, kind guy!!

Looking good brother! Thanks for the tips!

Hi! I had the same problem as you did but I used a cheaper method. Protex soap. I washed my head and face any other day and for me worked perfectly. Great video though.

My seborrhoeic dermatitis has gone 90% away after I started supplementing vitamin D. This was entirely unexpected. It is a very very cheap supplement with many benefits, so it's at least worth a try!

This is AMAZING Thank you!!!! Ive had on and off issues with this around my nose!!

My brother and I BOTH have a problem that sounds ALOT like what you’re saying. DEFINITELY gonna try these products out. CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH MY FRIEND. This skin condition has been driving the both of us CRAZY for years. If this helps YOU ARE AN ANGEL and you have NO IDEA what your video would have done to help us out. Again THANK YOU.

I had sebderm and the doctor gave me something called TERBISIL. The side effects were brutal for me: depression, anxiety, diarrhea, joint pains. It did cure the sebderm though, but it came back after I stopped taking it. So I had a really bad experience with this product and wanted to share. I also use nizoral now and it is pretty effective, going to try out the other skin care product mentioned in the video.

Thank you, like really appreciate it 🙌

Great video, thanks big dawg gonna check this out

Thank you so much for sharing this in-depth experience that you've had! I found that for me, Salicylic Acid helped to prevent the Malassezia from having effects on the skin/scalp. As Salicylic Acid is naturally antiinflammatory, the redness and irritation caused from Seborrheic Dermatitis can be targeted simultaneously. I'm sure this video will go on to support many other people with this skin condition, so thanks again for all of your efforts towards this video!

This is so helpful! Can’t wait to share it with my siblings. I always assumed I had rosacea!

Well done for sharing this info, it will help ,amy!

Nice information thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Zinc pirithione is banned in Europe due to implications in cancer, just an info for people who are living in europe

Thank you and your brother.

Thank you for sharing very kind ❤

The CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser is great for it too, use it each time you shower and moisturise after with either CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum or CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion. Curlsmith Post Wash Calming Conditioner for your scalp. These worked great for me + having a healthier diet makes a huge difference!

Great info, thanks!

Thank you, I have exact same condition, will try this for sure

Thanks for this video. I have had this condition ever since high school and i didn't know what it was or how to fix it until today. I'm going to try these products out hopefully its a goldmine. ♥

I had almost identical face rash. Ketoconazole worked for a while, maybe a year or so, but then it stopped working for me. Since then I have changed my diet to carnivore which mitigated it drastically and now I only use coconut oil on my face. At first I had to use coconut oil 3 times a day, now it’s just once every other day.

for people who cant afford or dont trust creams - try cutting all sugars and all grains out of your diet and see if your skin clears up after a month or two. basically a meat & vegetable diet.

Just checked out your channel too. You have lots of good stuff. New subscriber

Thanks for the info! Ordering soap and shampoo now. 👍🏻 (By the way, you have great hair! 🙂)

💪 worked - appreciate your advice

I used to have seborrhea on my face (nose to cheeks area and lower forehead) since my mid teen years. I suspect that it was triggered by a very stressful family event when I was 14. I was given a few creams and corticosteroids but it only became worse. My condition started getting much, MUCH worse around the age of 24 and I remembered there were even days when I literally couldn't leave the house. It was extremely depressing and I completely lost hope about life. The most interesting thing was that there were moments when I felt like the burning and sort of a "darkness" is coming up my body and in few hours it hit my face and the condition just became extremely bad. Seborrhea was always there but these "attacks" were very scary. I always compare it to as if you have all the energy and drive to do things, accomplish your daily task, etc. but it felt as if there was an invisible hand that is holding you on the ground and not releasing you. Around that time, I went to India (Tamil Nadu) and stayed at yoga ashram for 2 full months. We ate twice a day, only oragnic local food, had a lof of movement, did cca 50 mins of meditation a day. My seborrhea completely vanished and my skin never looked better. However, after returning back home to Europe, I noticed it is slowly coming back and even though it was not as severe as before, it was clear to me that either: 1) I did something in India that I normally don't do at home, or 2) I was not doing something that I normally do back home. I came to conclusion that it must be something about the food and since I heard about the digestion/skin connection, I decided to visit a gastroenterologist. They did the endoscopy, took a sample, and after two weeks sent me the result that confirmed that I have celiac disease. I had to completely change my eating habits but most importanty - after a few days without gluten, my condition became much better and since then I have NEVER experienced seborrhea in any form again. I used no cosmetics, I did not even wash my face, nothing of that sort. It was just about omitting gluten in all of its forms. This is my personal story and experience and other people might get in because of different reasons but I can only recommend to get your gut checked. Good luck and a lot of strength to everyone who is still dealing with seborrhea.

Zinc shampoos never worked for me. I believe most of my issues came from build up on my scalp and skin - as well as perhaps a breakdown of my skin barrier. Here’s what I use now: For my face I use Cerave Hydrating cleanser followed by Paula’s choice 2% bha exfoliant or the ordinary azeliac acid suspension 10%, and a cerave spf moisturizer lotion. (All of these you just use a little to stretch your bottles but use plenty of spf as these acids can make you susceptible to sun). For my head I use a tea tree oil shampoo and a silicone brush to massage the scalp and beard. Although dry skin still happens with low humidity environments - it’s much better than before.

Thank you for this video. Is this also the same for scalps?

I have had this around my nose flaring up randomly for years - I have been doing a facial massage programme for the past few weeks (GLOW) which includes a lymphatic drainage exercise and it's completely cleared it up even though that's not the aim of the programme.

I also have seborrheic dermatitis, and these are information shared by my doctor. This is not a disease, but a skin condition. It cannot be cured, but maintained under control. It gets triggered by genome, more often to men than women. It's more progressive as reaction to stress. For treatment, same medication will help some people, while not others. So you will need to change it, until you find what suits you. Fungus that Alexander is mentioning is responsible for skin condition, but root cause is genome and stress that helps fungus to "do it's work". Other external factors can help progression of seborrheic dermatitis (sun, dry weather, swimming pool, etc.) Treatment requires a lot of patience and persistence. It will not be "cured" with one day treatment, you have to keep on using one type of products until you see the change. If no progress after several weeks, you need to try some other products. And once you resolve the issue, you must continue with skin care products to keep it under control. There is a lot of cosmetic products specially developed for treatment, and lot of them have "DS" mark in their name. Try to find products that have more natural ingredients, less or not at all sulfates, that don't make your skin more dry, and do your best to keep stress level as low as possible. Be more active, in the nature, outside, with people you love and care for.

One key thing that drastically helped clear up my skin 98% head and face. Is I stopped smoking and drinking alcohol, and started taking vitamin d supplements, combined with the shampoo he mentioned. I just need to stop eating so many carbs and fats to cut the 2% out

That is the most gorgeous and flattering hairstyle for you!

I'm 35 and I've trying to figure it out these random skin issues since I was seventeen. I was washing my hair daily and I was still having issues. I noticed during the summer in the heat it would randomly flare despite washing my face twice a day. I will check out these products. Thanks for sharing

Grapefruit Seed Extract LINDERS AND allows you into direct sunlight Without Any pigment-damage. I just intuitively tried it when I had something similar (perhaps worse) that was making even just the reflections of sunlight burn while sitting in the shade. And it was amazing, as well for the discomfort of the skin itself that I constantly had even while indoors without any sun at all. It stings for half a minute or so, and then it takes the soreness away all freakin day.

You look like Keith from Voltron with that haircut. Love it!

i use a prescription only product called diprosalic on my scalp as well as the Nizirol.. it was a game changer... i found that if i stayed on top of treating my scalp, then my face is never as bad

Thank you I will try this

thanks that's what i was looking for 😁

Thank you! I have a bad case of Seb derm. Can’t put anything on my face without breaking out. Thanks for your information. I will try the seraVie.

I have the same condition and I use the exact same products you advised, which the dermatologist gave me. I also only use one cream to moisturize my skin, it's Uriage D.S emulsion. In France there are several products that are safe to use and they're all called D.S something (for dermite séborrhéique). Several brands like Uriage, Bioderma or Vichy sell those. Since I have this condition I've only been using 3 products on my face, no hot water (nzither on my face nor on my scalp) and it's way better than what it used to be, eventhough I can still have after the gym or when it too hot or humid outside.

I do have the same condition. Head & Shoulder shampoo works for me and I’m using Avène Cicalfate cream which helps remove the redness and itchiness on my face. Aloe Vera does help too.

Hello thanks for making this video. I am wondering if the Nizoral shampoo bottle is available on prescription or do you buy it over the counter and if so how much does it cost. For information the name of the shampoo has the same name in the UK but in France it is called NIZORAL. Thanks for the link which I am going to read attentively. So please let me know about the shampoo.

Thanks for the vid

Video is legit. Do the p-zinc (head and shoulders). Let that sit on your face for about 10 min. Try not to drink alcohol and try not to consume simple carbs like sugar (candy). If you do those few things, the seb. Derm will lesson over time. This dude knows what he is talking about.

I am 55 and got this the first time this winter. Thanks for the video. I'm starting off with fasting. Then no carbs no sugar in my diet. I am outside in the summer... I think UV light might be helpful. Great video. Ty

I do sweat often at the gym and my hair loss began around the time I started working out. I’ll give Nizoral a try. My brother and I are struggling with flaking scalp and i’m wondering if it’s the same fungus.

Using head and shoulders shampoo worked for me. I also rub it on my forehead and around my nose when shampooing. Keep in mind that stress exacerbates this condition.

wow your skin looks great and so even. the ketoconazole shampoo worked for me for a couple months but isn't as effective anymore. lately the only thing that's been helping is the Living Proof Scalp Care Dry Scalp Treatment. I add it all over my scalp after I wash my hair (about twice a week) and its been amazing at keeping the SD at bay. I also like to put it on certain areas on my face/body that flare up mostly around my nostrils. Thanks for the tips!

Thank you so much, I'll try it.

I have one of the worst examples of sebboric dermatitis. I am going to find the products you mentioned. My current protocol isnt great because im a bit clueless of how to handle it. i have a lot of red skin in the same areas, as well as red bumps almost like angry acne. heres what im doing but i think its too harsh 1. head and shoulders on the skin (only 1% Pyrithione zinc)- i can't find calm cool and corrected in canada but i might use a vanicream bar soap with 2% 2. neutrogina oil free acne wash-probably more for acne i use both of these in the shower. 3.cerave hydrating cleanser for after any recommendations would help a lot. also trying to drink a lot more water

Thankyou. I am a guy with this condition and l noticed that like me, you have pierced ears. When l have a bad flare up, it even gets in my ear piercings so bad that l can't wear earrings for a while. Don't know if you've had this problem, but l am going to try these products and hope it helps me.

I bought the bar soap (as I could not find the Dermadoctor cleaning) , 1% nizoral and the moisturiser. I’m getting quite dry after using the bar soap and moisturiser. Did you experience this when you started?

Not sure where everyone else is at with this but I cut out beer especially hoppy ones like IPA. I loved em but it wasn't worth it besides all the other downsides to drinking. The condition cleared up and only comes back when I drink.

in my case : ketoconazole = not effective selenium sulfide = no effect tar = no effect zinc = effective, but shorter interval and it also depends on humidity

My fix was getting 15-30min of sun every day, avoiding sulfate and silicone based shampoo and going on a low carb diet with intermittent fasting (8/16 window). Also sulphur soap is a godsend for cleaning the face after exercises. Took me around 2-3 weeks doing this to see improvements.

Awesome video bro

Soooooooo helpful dude..

I've had seborrheic dermatitis for years, since puberty, had no idea what it is and didn't know it was connected to dandruff (same fungus), which I also got at puberty. The Malassezia fungus really accelerated my androgenic alopecia, which I didn't know it could do that (this was the late 90s; internetz sucked back then, so finding out about this stuff wasn't easy, and I don't visit doctors unless I really, really have too, lol). Began using ketoconazole 2% last year, and other shampoos like the Vichy Dercos series (they contain salicylic acid among other useful active ingredients), great stuff. Really works. I still flare up if I don't use these anti-fungals for days, but they really work. Also, tretinoin is very helpful too, as it rejuvenates the skin.

For people in UK try brand “Bulldog” and their sensitive moisturiser m, it has good thick consistency and absorbs well. Helps me keep this annoying condition under control but dieting has the biggest effect imo which I dont follow that well. I do moisturise after every face wash/shower I take.

Thank you 👍🏼👊🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

I've had these problems for literally decades and the times I asked doctors they just kind of shrugged and said "use dandruff shampoo," which did shit-all. Finally I tried nizoral 2% and it was the first thing that ever made the condition go away, but I have to use it almost constantly. I have since discovered a much cheaper shampoo with the same active ingredient (it's called Sebizole) which also works really well. On top of that, I've discovered that nizoral also make a cream that you can apply directly to your skin with the same medicine in it, which I have started applying on my face as soon as I notice my skin becoming rougher of redder in the places I get the breakouts. It helps a lot.

I use a straight up vitamin E oil, seems to work well

My dermatologist prescribed Selenium Sulfide (regular Selsun BLue) for my seborrheic dermatitis. I use the selsun blue on my face as well... because I found that it works way better than the topical steroids she also prescribed for my face.

Mine has been getting progressively worse and has even moved into making big red patches in my scalp along my hair line. I'm going to try all of these. I also heard it can be from lack of vitamin D3 and excess carbohydrate consumption so I'm also going to try that.

Did the face wash ever give you Perioral dermatitis? Sorry for all the questions just wondering if that’s something you experienced from these products because I think I’ve got it

Those who have it on their scalp try organic apple cider vinegar as a leave in spray on the scalp. Works well.

There is an easy way to do this down as told to me by a dermatologist anywhere for someone with this condition, harbor moisture on their body. This is likely to appear. I have been dealing with this for over 35 years and regular face washing with salicylic acid and proper sunscreenand moisturizer I’m taking care of the face and the scalp. I’m sorry to say is a bit more touchy.

EU banned both Zinc Pyrithione and Selenium Sulfide, which were the only ingredients that worked in my case...

My evidence is anecdotal, but I found that after consuming Flax oil, which is mostly omega 3, for a few weeks, my skin flare-ups decreased substantially. It has a sort of nutty taste, so I mix it with peanut butter and then do whatever I'd usually do with peanut butter.

Tried all this a loooong time ago in my 20s. After a while it stops being effective. Also, you don't actually need it. Face: I use native coconut oil (the one you can eat) as after-shave for the last 12 years. Not a signle flake on my face since... Dandruff: Just go to sauna, and rub your scalp with your finger tips while there. Initialy 3 times a week. When it clears up, just do it once or twice a month to maintain.

Nice video! A little funny though that moustirizer has ceramides in it which you said to avoid 😅

Hope it will help someone - I have this condition on face (t -zone)for 2 years , it doesn't itch much but it burns hell alot, most of the time i spent on creams and moisturizers , but no , u can't just put anything on your skin . I expose my face in direct sunlight for 10-15 min ( neither too harsh nor too gentle sunlight) I haven't used any cream or moisturizer for 4 months. But i dont know about rainy and winter season when there will be not enough or almost nill exposure to sunlight. I am a vegetarian and i avoid processed food , sugar , fast food , much oily food , spicy , and processed white wheat flour ( maida ) . Although i consume wheat flour , rice and other things , if u go no or very less carb , how ur body will get enough energy to do work? I'm currently working on my gut health, and if u put anything randomly on ur face it might feed yeast .

@AlexanderDemergis I have a question. After all this. If you touch your skin, can you feel the skin being different from the rest that is not affected - even though it's "cured" ?

Thank you so much for your video. I am much older than you, and I also suffer from this. On and off for many years. If you could just answer one question about the first product you use on your face? When I follow the link in the description it takes me to a bar soap?? I can’t find the exact product that you showed in the picture when you showed all three products together. I did find the derma doctor, cool, calm, and correct it on Amazon, but I cannot find the exact product that you show in the picture. I would really like to try this product. There’s not too many reviews for this product on Amazon compared to most products on there so maybe it’s a newer product? Thank you for your time and making this video. 👍👍

Mine started around my mouth and scalp when I moved away to college. I believe it was the soft to hard water change, the climate change, and STRESS. but now it’s the worse it’s been and I was to wear a mask in public or not leave my comfort environment. I got ketoconazole cream and shampoo so I’ll see if that helps

Using the dandruff shampoo on my cheeks only and the cream for about 2 weeks fixed my problems, I haven't had a flare up in weeks since I stopped. Sad that I just now found this video, would've gotten me to the derm apt faster haha.

I have the same condition, using ketaconazol on my face improved it framatically, it is not meant for your hair only

Thank you!
