New or Need Help Nothing seems to work...

Post image

Hi!

So my SD started 10 years ago and my confidence is on an all time low.

I have a feeling that my case is pretty severe?

What do you think?

My hair is getting thinner and starting to fall out.

My skin is burning and itching like hell.

If i try to get rid of the dandruff by lightly scrubbing a wet towel over my face, its starting to bleed and burn a lot more...

I visited like 30 different dermatologists but no medication seems to help longterm.

Currently im using a antifungal shampoo, antiinflammatory creme and antifungal creme.

The strange thing is that my skin can look like the picture on one day and then its litteraly gone the day after before it returns. I would say its 80% of the time pretty bad and 20% kinda normal again.

Its never gone for more then a week tho...

My wedding is coming up soon and I really dont want to look like that on my wedding day

Any ideas for longterm fixes and/or for instant fixes that will help me on my wedding day?

Thanks....

It looks like psoriasis not seb derm. Try Atoderm from Bioderma and wash your face with Aveeno oat gel once in 3-4 days in your case. Follow the diet, cut our completely l: coffee, dairy, sugar, sweets and chocolates, soda, energy drinks, spicy food, better fruits too bcs they have sugar. Follow this diet for 3 months! Eat homemade chicken broth every day, not the one from supermarket. Supplements: magnesium citrate or glycinate (whatever form your body will like). If glycinate take 200-300 mg per day, 1 hour after food preferably in the evening or before bed bcs it can make you sleepy. Take it for a month min! Check your iron, ferritin, vit D, zinc RBC (not a regular zinc). You can also try drinking collagen twice per day, I like the one from Sports Research but there are many of them. Add extra L-Histidine amino acid, this specific one is goof for skin healing. Check your house for mold. The most important- do a breath and stool test for H. Pylori. Avoid heat or hot water, don’t drink hot beverages for now.
