    Hi everyone. Happy New Year! So I just found out that I have seborrheic dermatitis. My t-zone has always been extremely oily and for a long time I’ve had a very flaky nose. Then, recently, I noticed my cheeks were looking quite red. SD sucks. I was wondering if anyone has dealt with it or a similar condition (psoriasis) before and has any tips or products you’ve found to work well. Thanks guys!

    My impression is that SD feeds on facial oils.  So even though your skin looks flaky and you may assume the patches are dry, you actually want to cleanse well.

    If your cheeks are quite red, you may also have rosacea–common for seb derm and rosacea to go together.  Not that you need another diagnosis…

    I would check with a derm as you may need a prescription topical for both the flakes and the red patches.

    Thanks for the advice, Sarah! I actually found a product called Psoriasin Gel at my local pharmacy. It contains coal tar, a well researched ingredient known to ease symptoms of psoriasis and SD. It’s working wonderfully to eliminate flakes, not so sure about the redness though. Fingers crossed!
