I found out thanks toAlan Dattner, M.D., after reading his skin care bookRadiant Skin.
It was the only beauty book I could find with extensive informationan entire chapter!dedicated to the condition.
What my seborrheic dermatitis looked and felt like.
But nothing truly solved my issue.
What finally helped ease my seborrheic dermatitis.
Familiarizing myself with triggers that made it worse and products that soothed was key.
I found the right shampoo combo.
When those didn’t work, Head & Shoulders was my standby.
It was one of the only things that helped stabilize my scalp, after even natural shampoos irritated it.
(That said, even that failed, and I would get bouts of flakes again).
I’ve never used anything that worked so quickly.
Nailing down these products helped decrease flaking and itching by almost 70%it made a huge difference.
I treat my scalp once a week.
A weekly moisture treatment helps keep flakes and itchiness to a minimum.
Treating sebo is a delicate balance: It takes preventing drynesswhile using treatments with naturally antimicrobial properties.
This combo helped me balance hydration and the microbiome of the scalp.
I started a probiotic regimen.
A probiotic routine was a recommendation from Fishman.
Plus, probiotics may help support the skin-gut connection.
Your scalp, of course, is simply skin.
So anything that helps your skin will help your scalp.
When you have poor gut health, it triggers inflammation throughout your body.
This can trigger inflammatory skin conditions, sebo being one of them.
But if it’s possible for you to support your gut health, it can help manage overall inflammation.
