![]() ![]() “I’ve tried everything, I don’t want cortisol, I’m open to alternative treatment, anything, what can you suggest?”. ![]() My mother stayed hopeful and kept pushing me, so I went back to the doctor – desperate – and asked for something else. ![]() And I gave up on the alternative treatments. Especially because I was not completely rid of the SD, it had only diminished. I literally tea-bagged myself to try to end this! I saw some progress, but compared to the amount of work involved and – which was far worse – the social stigma of not drinking neither coffee nor beer, it was just not worth it. I cut alcohol, coffee, milk (which actually did more than I care to admit), tried to eliminate bread and eggs and all sorts of stuff I got fish-oil, extra vitamin-D and other dietary supplements I went and bought a pure aloe vera extract and ordered Aveeno eczema moisturiser with colloidal oatmeal from Canada I tried getting some time in the sauna regularly, since I had read somewhere that it might help I tried to meditate I tried drinking green tea every night and applying the teabag to my face. So I started looking into the alternative treatments: I tried the salt-water treatment when I came back to Denmark, and I tried to sit in direct sunlight for at least 15 minutes a day – even during the cold and dark winter I tried changing my diet – maybe it was the exotic food that had really cured me, while I was in the Philippines. This gave me new hope, and I thought, there must be a way to get rid of it! The Search Continues Last winter I went to the Philippines and the sun and salt-water made the seborrheic dermatitis go away – completely! I had no trouble at all even though both alcohol and poor sleep came along with me on that vacation. So, I just kind of came to terms with my condition since the visit to the doctors didn’t resolve the problem. If I recall correctly, you had tried the same things with the same less-than-satisfying outcome. I also used nizoral shampoo and it made the scalp situation better, but again it didn’t really solve the problem. And I guess we are both in it for the long run, since there is apparently no permanent cure, only treatment and control. It makes the skin thinner and more sensitive in the long run. Now, I think we both agree that the steroid hormone cortisol cream is not the way to go. I went to my doctor here in Denmark and he gave me Brentacort cream with hydrocortison (cortisol) and miconazol (some anti fungal). I’ll begin with my story and then the solution (but to save you the suspense and disappointment if you already know about it and it didn’t work for you, it’s Nystatin). Not in my face, not in my scalp, not on my chest. Although, I think it will work for most people since it was so effective for me. ![]() I realize people have SD to different degrees, so this might not be universal, but maybe you can help me reach the people at SkinDrone, and it might help some. I’ve struggled with SD for the last 5 years or so, and I had almost given up, but now I’ve found my solution. So here is Joakims – Nystatin Seborrheic Dermatitis Treatment: It outlines his journey and how he eventually stumbled upon a treatment that has been working for him. The following is an email that was sent to me by one of the readers on this website. ![]()
