Skin problem seb derm, steroid rosacea?
Posted by: Alan in Contact Dermatitis, tags: derm, Problem, Rosacea, Skin, Steroid
Please help i had these red spots in my eyebrows and in those areas i had hair loss. I was diagnosed with seb derm and given znp bar (which has been helping my skin be alot less oily and no more flaking)and i was given desonide .05 % which is used to treat seb derm. it is used to get rid of itchiness and rednesss, the itchiness goes away but the redness gets redder and goes into more areas?So is it steroid rosacea in which case i need to slowly use less and less until it goes away, or is it seb derm? Also, how can i tell when i have developed a tolerance to a steroid and is there any way around it, or do i have to use a different brand or a stronger % or both?It could also be contact dermatitis but i dont think so .This is also mainly only in one spot in each eyebrow in about the same area on each brow and in some spots i have no hair loss. Also why are the hairs on my brow in the spot with the redness very hard brittle and kinda go into weird positions.

first of all, you should NEVER use a steroid cream on your face. I have no idea why your doctor gave it to you because they have no idea. It just makes things worse.
Ditch the steroid cream and go the natural approach…honey (yes, it works and works well)
- Buy some raw honey from your local health food store.
- pour out about 5 table spoons and add a little bit of water (the mixture should be around 8 parts honey, 2 parts water)
- cleanse your face with your usual cleanser (something gentle like cetaphil)
- Now apply the mixture all over your face and scalp (you need to put it on your scalp also even if you dont have it there because the fungus that causes seb derm will colonize in the areas where no honey is applied)
- leave the honey on for 3 hours and then wash off with luke warm water in shower
- then moisturize your face with your usual moisturizer
- follow this routine every 2nd day for a full month (approx 15 times), and after that period you’ll only have to do it once a week for maintenance.
messy, but you’ll get results and keep it at bay
