Dealing with Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic Dermatitis has been something that I’ve been dealing with since I was 15. It’s not debilitating, very painful, contagious, or life threatening; it’s just EXTREMELY annoying and very hard to deal with. You have the flaking, the itching, the redness, and the sensitive skin. And once all of this stops, you’re left with the tell-tell sign of the discoloration. I hate it! I hate the skin on my face and how it flakes and becomes inflamed, and I become self-conscious, because I have a huge butterfly mark across my face and it burns if anything touches it! This can be treated with a mild soap and shea butter with coconut oil and scrubbing the first layer of skin off my face. However to treat the discoloration, I use monistat and I swear this works and it works well. It just makes my skin unbelievably greasy, but it also makes my skin all even and smooth! I also hate my scalp, because my scalp seems to be infested by Satan himself! It’s red and angry ALL THE TIME!!! I’ve tried Head & Shoulders and Neutrogena and MG217 and my scalp still hates me. The Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength worked for awhile, but after about three months my scalp was back angry and the flaking wasn’t completely gone. So I tried MG217 and it is my holy grail! It works. It slows down the growth and helps with the inflammation and the itchiness. However I choose not to use this after the first two weeks, because it contains coal tar, a known carcinogenic and I can’t risk getting cancer just to stop an itchy scalp. I’m starting a new regimen with the shampoo, because I really need something that works. Well, I” figure it out later. Well, until later *smoochies* Berries!
