Dandruff With No Cure: Sebhorria

[a_lizete]

It's red. It looks like pimples and feels like a hard little lump. It's dry and flaky. Maybe it's by your nose. Or your eyebrows. Or your hairline. Wherever it is, you probably hate it.

Sebhorria is a type of dermatitis. Is is relatively rare and the cause has not been determined yet. There is no cure to it, only ways to control it.

sometimes it looks like acne or pimples which makes the situation worse, because the treatment for zits actually makes sebhorria worse.

If you have been cursed with this, you should know a few things.

Stress makes it worse, as does touching and picking.

Oil Worsens it.

Oh, and so do most soaps.

Acne medication.

And many more things.

The best way to control it is to relax. A good approach is washing the areas with a dandruff shampoo. After you shower, wash the inflicted areas with cetaphil and when the skin is still wet, apply jojoba oil.

Worked like a charm for me!

you have no idea girl. srugglig with it since 16. I've almost lost my hair because of it. for men its wors. my whole scalp is flaky even the very first day i take a shower. and it also appears around my nore and eyebrows. but let me tell you something. western medicine is full of shit. saying they dont know what causes it. the point is not to treat the symptoms with creams etc but fight the roots of the problem. one needs to detox his body with organic vegan diet, and also fight the candida he/she probably has in the intestines...

yes its true stress is your worst enemy in this struggle. also helpful things are manuka oil, tea tree oil, geranium oil, ylang ylang, classic green soap to name a few...

You are right about this diet and stress has to do a lot with this , it's just really a hard diet to maintain

I have psoriasis and eczema which both get worse when stressed. Psoriasis is so embarrassing. Though I have a friend who evidently doesn't treat his so he has dandruff everywhere all the time. When I first started treating mine, it was like pouring acid on my scalp. I had to scream into a pillow. Now it's a lot better!

What did you do to treat it? I hate my sebhorria! The bumps are manageable especially because most people mistake them for acne since I'm at that age, but oh the dandruff! Most things I use on my face can't be used in my hair or it will look oily, and the dandruff hinges into the follicle! Freaking hate it!

I went to the doctor and they gave me T-gel shampoo (coal tar is in it) and betnovate scalp application. The best thing to do is get a prescription for it.

I never had that, but I had really bad psoriasis on my scalp and was mocked for it :/ I got it genetically from my dad, but nowadays it just looks like normal dandruff and only appears in sudden changes of temperature. It's weird.

I don't have Sebhorria but it's good that it'd be helpful for such victims.
