GI damage, toxcicity, dermal microbial imbalance. Harsh skin cleansers and the like alter the ph on the skin surface. This allows unfriendly organisms to gain a foothold. Dermatological corporations understand this principle very well. The body also is horrifically impacted by pharma medications, thus rendering the system into an autoimmune state. The inside must be dealt with alongside the outside. Stop going to the dermatologist. This man or woman ruined your life!! Try a naturopath.

Hi Snowbordbum..

I think you should go for the raw honey treatment or the treatment of sulphur soap but read the post about it cause you have to mix it etc. read the latest post of mine with STRAW. You'll find the link in the post how it works. Also is a lot of info on the acne.org Seborrheic Dermatitis

I recommand you to do 2 things. Do a full liver test to see if there is any harm. If there is no damage than check your G.I track (Colon)
at metametrix.com or another good lab. You can do this by via your doctor. I might think your intestinal flora is out of wack due the anti biotics. On the next page you can see which anti biotics harm as well the intestinal track

see paragraph
(Pathogenic Bacteria • Yeast/Fungi 4
Clostridium difficile / Suspect recent Antibiotic use, especially the cephalosporins,
ampicillin/amoxicillin, and clindamycin. )

good luck!

Dont be so hard on yourself. Ive had to deal with the same exact issues as have other people on this board im sure. You have to sort your problems out. Dont let this thing destroy your life.... Im a little older than you your going to get over this it just takes some time.

Well Im a 37 year old guy that has had this affliction since i was in tenth grade. I have much advice as i have lived with this so long. Number one as much of a tough situation this is it will make you a stronger person. I want to address the woman thing , Firstly most all girls are pretty insecure and are trying to fit in whether by having the right girlfriends or bf's. The best advice i can give is to look for a person of the opposite sex that might not have "magazine " looks. Look to have a relationship based on having fun with the other person . If you want a girlfriend first you must master the art of friendship. If you understand that you will have no issue getting a girl. Keep that your focus. This is valdd advice coming from a man that has SD on his face and is happily married to a beautiful sexy pregnant women. My point is this if the girl is truly a good person she wont care about it as much as u will think. Most women are not good but there are some good ones. Keep your ears open and shut your eyes to find the good ones. On my good days i attracted model good looking women on my bad days I hated myself and was unhappy..how in the world vcn u attract
anyone when your miserable ..you cant so the lesson is keep your head up hi and love yourself regardless do nice things for women and they will notice. Complement them not just one way but many. Go fishing and learn what it takes to catch a fish and apply it to women ..LOL anyway be yourself and dont be shallow. Stop looking for a tens and forget about what your buds think of your girl. any to respond to approaching women, well you going to have to take chances and walk up and say hi , Im so and so and you will get shot down but there will be days when you dont get shot done so if you want it you need to go out there and get it its a numbers game brother keep plugging away and dont be shy about it. Listen chicks have this SD also dont be shallow and work on getting yourself a girlfriend. and btw having a girlfriend and having sexua| partner is not the same thing. So keep it in your pants until you get the green light.

Hey snowboardbum805,

I hope you see this. I was wondering if you have any update on your skin?

I have a similar situation with my face after using Acanya and Tazorac. The redness just won't go away. I've been diagnosed with rosacea, but it could be SD also. My symptoms don't neatly fit either one. Yours is the first similar story I've seen. If you've gotten the redness to clear up and could share how, it might be very helpful.

Thanks man!
