Seborrhea On the Face: Redness On the Face... Help? Posted: 10-25-04 12:07pm
I have been diagnosed with seb. It
manifests itself in redness on my face
(around my nose and between my
eyebrows).
I was given steroid creme but that, I
learned, thins the skin. I was then given
a yeast fighting creme cleanser that is
very expensive. It is called plexion. I
was also given a yeast fighting creme
called protopic.
These seem to work if I keep using them,
but they are too expensive for me to keep
up with.
I'm looking for any natural or over the
counter medicine/remedies that will do
away with this redness on my face.
Thanks.

I can't offer an alternative to what
you're using but suggest contacting your
doctor for something to keep your seb.
Under control. Maybe he or she will
even have samples to help stretch your
budget a bit.
I see my doctor again tomorrow for the
same issue so am taking the names of your
products. What i'm on now doesn't help
at all.
Thanks!

Please let me know what your doctor says.
I lost my insurance so must wait awhile
before I see a dermatologist again.

Steroid Addiction Posted: 11-16-04 15:03pm
My doctor feels that most of my skin
problems are the result of a too strong
(the strongest) steroid lotion that I used
on my face (definately not meant for
faces) which led to steroid addiction.
She gave me samples of protopic and pandel
(a mild steroid cream). I've used it for
24 hours and see a significant
improvement.
The seborreah is a minor issue that we're
barely concentrating on at the moment.

Red appeared right of the nose first, then
left and eyebrows and under sideburns
under ears
before that I had dandruff and treated
that with nizoral and tgel
the face comes on when I am ill or about
to become or when I am tired or drunk too
much booze. Also from autumn to winter
when the air dries, other season changes
and other dry environments
i tried taking multivitamins which I think
help, but cant be sure
recently got ill and went to the doctor
who has given me some steroid cream but
also advised not using petrolium based
soaps, only animal or vegetable oil based
soaps
