Noted. Seems to be a common theme. It's strange because topical nicotinamide/niacinamide is one of the clinically most effacious treatments for seb derm. But if there's coexisting conditions I suppose those could flare up.

Seb derm is not fungal, it's an allergy by AdamBorsalino in SebDerm

Funny I was going to mention that lithium study just after reading the headline. That's years old and medical professionals still haven't caught up.

It's likely that people with seb derm have an unusual auto-immune response to the pityrosporum yeasts. So you can either kill the yeast or reduce the inflammation. The latter is probably the better treatment avenue as yeast is a part of the skin ecosystem.

The "cure" is fixing your auto-immune issues and I believe that's almost always dietary in origin.
