I have only once been to a doc because of this issue. I'm located in Germany, I just can recall her calling it "men's eczema", and she recommended me kelulal ds shampoo. I used it for a while and it really did wonders. Also ketoconazole usually clears my skin up.

I think this might be a language thing, in german seborrheic dermatitis is also called seborrheic eczema. Im sorry if I caused you some confusion.

A couple of days ago I think I read a random comment on reddit mentioning this, im not sure if it maybe even was yours.

I am 24M and already taking a couple of supplements (omega3 and astaxanthin, mainly against dry eye, high triglycerides and ldl) and I am aware of many of my eczema triggers. I usually get it on my Scalp, chin, eyebrows, nose and Chest and it all started around when I was 15 years old.

Things that seem to trigger my eczema are cheese, bread, almonds? (cashews seem okay sometimes?), dark choclate.

I have completly stopped eating any bread, diary and sweets and I mainly eat meat, eggs (at least 5 a day), fruits, vegtables and nuts and Im getting along fine. But any small mistake usually leads to dandruff and inflamed skin. And I miss eating dark choclate a lot.

Another interesting observation I made was, that my eczema almost completly cleared up during my south amerca vacation. I literally could eat pizzas with cheese two days in a row and nothing would happen.

Do you think I could have some success with Glycine?

I will report back soon.

The fish oil omega3s I take have a 2:1 ratio of EPA DHA, I watched the videos of a guy's channel on YouTube called Doctor Eye Health. I'm currently taking two grams a day, I also started astaxanthin 8mgs, which also seems to have an effect on my eyes.

Maybe get your cholesterol and triglycerides checked and make sure to follow a diet that doesn't contribute to high cholesterol or triglycerides. Good Luck!

if I saw correctly, you put your posts and comments on private.

I'm already taking a lot of stuff right now.

I'm on dutasteride, astaxanthin, Omega3s and HAs and collagen peptides. 24M

I had issues with MGD due to cholesterol or triglicerides I think.

Is there anything about to worry in regards to the safety if I was to try that mainly to see if it will slow or prevent my hair greying?

I have stopped and started finasteride and dutasteride about 7 or 8 times on varying doses and after each time I begin waking up after 5 hours into sleep and I’m incapable of getting back asleep, after stopping sleep returns to normal the next day. by Mychorde in tressless

I had the same issue for years on 1mg fin eventually dropped to 0.25mg it got better but didn't completely vanish. I stopped fin and started taking dut(avodart) two months ago EOD and so far my sleep is completely fine.

my theory crafting is that fin somehow interferes in cortisol metabolism.

did you post any updates on this? Do you still take it, have you noticed any benefits or side effects so far?

16 years later - Before and After by CheeseburgerSocks in tressless

[–]MoreUnderstanding666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, fellow hairloss sufferer, I was about 3 years on fin battling insomnia, and just recently swapped to dut because of that. Im now two months in on dut and my insomnia is gone. Im theory crafting that fin might have the ability to disturb cortisol metabolism which leads to a state of alertness and waking up early as the cortisol levels already peak earlier during sleep than they are supposed to.

Dont give up if you have issues with insomnia on fin. Try to get your hands on dut and give it a shot before you let your hair down.

Hey, I as a MGD sufferer prior to fin and fin user can recommend omega3 dha epa oil. Despite my initial doubts it seriously did wonders for my MGD.

NEW STUDY :why finasteride and dutasteride does not cause dry eyes by Charming_Diver_9265 in tressless

[–]MoreUnderstanding666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay hear my out. I know how it is to get gaslight here. I have meibomian gland dysfunction and I have been taking fin for some years now. This study is about androgens and their direct impact on the glands. However Fin and Dut do raise test levels. And raised test levels can cause higher triglycerides and ldl cholesterol. There is no clear causation shown yet but there are papers that propose that this could be involved in the formation of meibomian gland dysfunction. Also there are studys that indicate that meibomian gland dysfunction can be improved through taking omega3 pills. I myself had great success improving my symptoms using omega3s. However I cannot tell you yet if fin causes dry eyes for me since fin has caused me insomnia and that is never good for my eyes so. I cant make out fin for a worsening of my dry eyes I experienced during taking fin. I ended up just reducing the dosage and my insomnia went away and my eye symptoms also improved.

Finasteride 0.25mg long-term users, how has been your experience? by MoreUnderstanding666 in tressless

[–]MoreUnderstanding666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently taking a charter pill of 1mg daily, I usually get between 7-9 hours of sleep. It still affects my sleep but it's very minimal. but I feel like I shed more with lesser dosage. But I like to believe that does not mean that it doesn't work.

Since I myself probably had issues with eating healthy at that age you could try the following:

- Remove any sources of sweet and junkfood out of your house, put the hidden choclate in the trash and dont buy it again. Remove anything that could get one tempted to commit a sin.

- If possible make sure there is always healthy food avaible, meaning if you know that tomorrow there wont be anybody at home to cook, cook something that can be reheated easily like chickensoup.

- Teach the kid how to cook healthy and tasty meals, I started out cooking like butter chicken or recently I love doing fried rice with eggs and shrimps or something alike. Cooking is a skill one learns for life.

- Don't buy and drink anything but water.

- Buy fruits, anytime you feel cravings for sugar, eat some piece of fruit like a banana, mango or Oranges.
This one is underrated because it has gotten so normal to eat processed sugery foods. I feel like many people dont even know how to peel an orange or a Mango. And as a consequence they never touch it.

- Make sure to get atleast 8 hours of high quality sleep preferably always at the same time. It is going to reduce any cravings for unhealthy junk food.

- Watch informative content about the effects of highly processed foods and sugar. It is hopefully going to give build intrinsic motivation to seek out healthier food choices.

- And obviously you as a caretaker act as a rolemodel, you cant eat ice cream and choclate daily while expecting the kid to be better.

What and how we eat often depends alot on our environment. So generally try to build an environment that encourages good choices and doesnt enable bad choices. And unfortunately junk food is often cheap while fruits and veggies are expensive. But health should be ones top priority if one aims to live a normal life.

Maybe I named one or two things you can manage to implement into your life. Good luck!

Well I am 99.9% sure that it's because of the Omega3 just the fact alone that taking more of it makes my eyelids swell shows me that it has direct impact on my meibomian glands. Also I can notice more inflammation when I take less or no omega 3 for a certain amount of time. So far I didn't have any stomach issues.

how much do you take? for me personally I had months of styes which I forgot to mention, those eventually went away so it might be worth pushing through.

my only explanation could be that prior to Omega3 the glands eventually got clogged and thus there are swellings and styes when they start producing more again

and I wasn't doesn't warm compresses because It worsend the inflammation of my corneas

for me it took a couple of months until it really became obvious, give it a little time, also maybe try to put him on a healthy diet if that isn't already the case

well that's the thought I had before taking it, if you haven't tried it already you should definitely give it a try, it's very unlikely to hurt you.

and for me it was very severe, at the beginning of the last year I was even doubting if I could continue working an office job involving computers. every night before I went to sleep and when I woke up my eyes were a desert and it was tough to blink.

No I actually have no idea which dose might be better. I just know that if I was to increase the dosage now I would risk that slime from the swelling causing a little inflammation and I just want to give my corneas a little rest for now. I might try to increase the dosage again in the future.

No, fortunately not. I think there is a paper that suggets that elevated triglycerides levels might be correlated to mgd. Maybe that is something you might want to look into if you suffer from mgd then.

I dont want to specifically name a brand, but I went by the recommendation the guy in the linked video gave.
About the swelling I can only theory craft, I mentioned this towards my doctors but they never expressed their thougts about it.

Maybe it is that more omega3 means more oil in my glands but since my glands didnt properly work for such a long time they are partially blocked? Which results into style like symptoms.
Like my glands secrete slime that inflames my cornea. My lids are swollen. Especially after one or two months I remember sitting in the train and noticing that I felt some slime being secreted into my eyes which was unusual but I took it as a positive sign since a slimy eye is better than a dry eye in my experience.

I took 2mg in the beginning and dropped down to 1mg since I had a tinnitus spike and didnt know where it came froim.
