a treatment for seb dermatitis???

[jimmystanley]

i went to GNC and bought something called yeast clense..or something like that, i forget what it's called. But it's a 15 day treatment and it's supposed to do wonders for controlling yeast problems (which is what guys with seborrheaic dermatitis have). It says try it for 15 days and then if u have sever problems take a 5 day break and then do another 15 days. Sounds promising. imagine if it worked? imagine if there was actually something that worked and u were like...wow, it's actually working. No more guessing?

controlling yeast problems (which is what guys with seborrheaic dermatitis have).

Seb Derm is not a usually a yeast problem. Its primarily a Fungal related problem. :lol:
Look on the bright side though, you wont be getting any vaginal infections now.

you're thinking of dandruff...seb derm is not just 'severe dandruff'

There's countless websites that relate seb. derm. to yeast.

Here is a quote from one of them:


The main cause of seborrheic dermatitis is now believed to be overgrowth of normal skin yeast called M. Ovale. This conclusion is based upon the facts that the organism is found on people with the condition, can be grown outside of the body, and when placed on unaffected skin can cause the condition to develop. The way in which this yeast causes redness and scaling is not entirely known.

Here are two more:

I have a book called "The Yeast Connection" which goes into detail about seb. derm's correllation with yeast overproduction, and I even asked my doctor about it about two months ago.

That's not to say that all seb. derm can be treated with oral yeast-fighting medications, at least not natural ones. I, for one, had an overproduction of yeast that manifested itself on my tongue and scalp, my doctor confirmed this in a lab test. I've since been taking garlic, capryllic acid, pau d'arco, grapefruit seed extract, and small doses of tea trea oil (60mg) daily and my problem has been greatly improved -- in fact, at least for the time being, I have no build up whatsoever on my scalp and/or tongue.

It should be mentioned that I also use nizoral, selsun blue, and head n' shoulders in rotation. However, i've used these products for years (literally) and they've done little to help my seb. derm, at least by themselves.

also HairLossTalk.com it's pretty unprofessional to make fun of someone's condition. It would be like if someone came on here and made fun of bald guys.

But aslo, u are thinking of extreem types of dandruff that take on certain symptoms of seb derm...but those conditions are only a sub group of seb derm... true seb derm has those sub groups and many more (and much worse) conditions.

It's like you have regular male pattern baldness to deal with...then u also have this other condition that is almost as worse. I know fallicule knows what it's like.
