Seborrheic Dermatitis: An Over-the-Counter Remedy by Tameka Norris

Don't you just hate depending on prescription medicine to

control your Seborrheic Dermatitis?

I did! When I was first diagnosed with Seborrheic

Dermatitis five years ago I was relieved to finally find

out what I had.

Then the doctor prescribed me with a cream that I needed to

use to control it. I found out the size of the tube the

cream came in and how much it cost.

Needless to say, I was no longer relieved.

I could handle treating this condition on a recurring basis.

But relying on a doctor's prescription was something else

altogether.

If I was going to have the condition, I wanted as much

freedom that I could get with it.

After concluding how I felt about it I decided to research

the subject a little further to find out what Seborrheic

Dermatitis was. And to see if there was a way to live with

the condition using over-the-counter medicine.

My first question was...

What is Seborrheic Dermatitis exactly?

And this is what I found out:

Seborrheic Dermatitis, also known as "facial dandruff", is

said to be a common inherited skin disorder. Found more

often in men than in women. It is a chronic occurrence of

inflamed skin believed to be caused by the build-up of a

yeast-like organism in the sebaceous glands. The yeast-like

organism is known as Pityrosporum Ovale.

Common symptoms of Seborrheic Dermatitis are redness,

itchiness, flaking, greasiness and/or scaliness.

The areas that are most commonly affected by Seborrheic

Dermatitis are the scalp, eyebrows, eyelids, sides of the

nose, the flesh behind the ears, mouth region, mid-chest

area.

Other less commonly infected areas are the armpits,

breasts, naval, buttocks, and groin.

I was only experiencing it on my face.

The areas that were affected on my face were: my eyelids,

eyebrow region, the sides of my nose, and the sides

of my mouth.

Once I understood the cause of Seborrheic Dermatitis

I then dedicated my time to finding an over-the-counter

remedy.

It took me hours before I ran across a very valuable

website. One that would give me the exact information

that I needed.

The name of the site was American Family Physician:

Treatment of Seborrheic Dermatitis

www.aafp.org/afp/20000501/2703.html

Had it not been for this very site I would have

never thought to control the inflammation on my face

by simply washing my face with dandruff shampoo everyday.

It was the missing ingredient that I was looking for.

I knew I needed one product to take care of the

inflammation and another product to take care of the
