sebhorreic dermatitis cure ?
-
have you tried antibiotics and also an antifungal soap on your face?
i had a terrible dermatitis breakout 2 weeks ago from something i was applying topically to my face, (im suspecting it was a topical thorne d3/k2 product i had just started using.) my face was super swollen and i had hives under my eyes, on my beard, on my ears.... it was so bad it hurt to even touch the areas.
i had some antibiotics in my house so i took a single dose of "amoxicillin clavulanic acid 875/125" and just sat in the sun all day, diet was ground beef, milk, orange juice, oysters, sardines, coke, supplemented with activated charcoal, bicarbonate and vitamin b1. within 4 days it was gone and now my skin is super smooth and clear, and no marks from the hives.. its like it never happened, just amazingi used this salicylic acid anti fungal soap on my face during those few days: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FG0IB8C

@ATP no , i don't know if that would have more drawbacks than benefits?

Pine tar soap can be very helpful. I found also that Mane & Tail shampoo and conditioner greatly improved mine, and are extremely cheap. Not the best ingredients but something in there really worked. Haven't had it on the beard so unsure how to help there, sorry.

@fucker I had seborrheic dermatitis diagnosed by a dermatologist in 2016 and gave me topical corticosteroids and said it was uncurable and I'd have to use them for the rest of my life. Many years later I was told by a different doctor that these steroids "thin the skin" and that I shouldn't use them, they referred me to a dermatologist to get off of them. I went to a different dermatologist and they said the steroids were fine and I shouldn't worry about it. I later learned about red skin syndrome, an iatrogenic disease that comes from the runaway effect of using topical steroids to treat skin conditions, increasing vascularization and thereby requiring more steroids to control. The only cure is going cold turkey on steroids which then causes the skin to painfully molt away.
I did some peat-world studying/experimentation in 2020 and tried topical retinol (used idealabs retinil) and within two weeks it completely solved the problem for me. I mixed a couple drops in water & coconut oil and used it as a moisturizer. Never came back. I use estroban now, just 2-3 drops whenever I suspect symptoms are coming. I think it was a vitamin deficiency.
We've also had multiple reports like @Icecreamfan77's about Bloo helping. Good luck with your experimentation, I hope you find something that works for you.

@brad
thx! -
@fucker I have. I tried lots of things but in the end only Neutrogena T Gel shampoo worked. I used it for a few months years ago and it's never come back.

@brad I too had dermatitis for a long time, (I have a ton of posts about charcoal curing my dermatitis on the old forum). It’s very much as Ray used to say in my experience, a function of energy metabolism. The D3/K2 product probably “created” the symptom because it added energy to the equation. Prior to that supplement it’s possible that you didn’t have to energy to even present with a symptom.
In my experience there is a major paradox with regard to bioenergetic approaches where by you get a symptom when you provide fuel or a supplement that increases energy. We subsist at such a low energy level that we suppress symptoms because we don’t even have the spare energy to begin to tackle the deficiency/infection/whatever the offender is.
This is why people gain weight when they begin to eat more. Sleep improves, (so obviously glycogen storage is deficient). Nutritional deficiencies begin to resolve, but weight goes on because while nutrition is the cure to much chronic disease, nutrition alone is unlikely to restore healthy energy metabolism. So, symptoms can abate, but the paradoxical weight gain occurs.
Not sure if this makes sense to anyone, (I’m sure I’m not being very clear) but this has been my experience. While charcoal “cured” my dermatitis, it didn’t do anything for my energy metabolism, (the only thing that ultimately raises immunity and ultimately cures us). Thyroid, aspirin, progesterone as Peat often said in interviews until it became a meme between me and my wife, (I’d give a personal shout-out to B vitamins). This simple advice is profound.

Never fully cured it, but the product Biom8 worked well for my face. Essentially a caprylic acid product with some vit E.
