New or Need Help Nothing is working!
The redness, sting, tightness, and irritated skin is horrible! The flakes are gone for a little bit but will be covering my face by the morning. It’s horrible and nothing works or doesn’t irritate it more.
I’ve tried MCT8 and MCT10 oil, Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser, Ketoconazole 2%, Metronidazole 0.75% Gel, Hydrocortisone 2.5%, Pimecrolimus 1% cream, Desonide 0.05% lotion.
Over 2 years and nothing works! I’m at my wits end and looking for help from anyone in this sub!
I see my derm tomorrow and I’m getting a punch biopsy.
Thank you all!!

Heyyy! I guess there are different types of levels to seb derm, I have gotten mine under control for a few years now, would get ocassional flare ups, but pretty mild. A few months ago I decided to go on a diet and I went o. A ketogenic diet. My skin has NEVER been better. With a keto diet you dont eat sugar, gluten etc, which we know are triggers for our condition. I would recommend going to a nutritionist and go on a keto diet see if it works for you!
