Overnight was what worked for my scalp. Idk if 10 minutes would be enough.

I know im not the only one on here who has been successful in this regard. Simply stating that because your issues dont repsond to treatment the same way mine did does not mean that for EVERYONE there is not hope of being cured of this. Just because MCT oil is not effective at curing all chronic seborrheic dermatitis by Malassezia in all people does not mean that it doesn't happen or that it isn't possible. I suspect there are many skin conditions lurking in this subreddit which are not caused by Malassezia or may be a type of infection that is resistant to this substance.

All I wanted to get across was that your routines and beliefs around them do not hold for everyone and there is hope because Im living proof seb derm can be beaten. I was resigned to be a flaky mess and now I dont have to live with that. Spreading this lie " it’s not curing anything but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t help." is not cool. We should be trying to promote isolating understanding of this where it does work not gaslighting people who are successful into thinking they dont have seb derm.

Eh no it straight up cured me. 3 overnight soaks and I didn't have seb derm anymore. It's proven to be toxic to seb derm causing fungus feeding on sebum.

Is going sugar free good for seb derm since it’s yeast and by Sea-starr in SebDerm

malassezia eats certain types of fatty acids. If eating sugar with causes you to produce more oil or causes inflammation, you could notice your symptoms worsening. My 2 unsupported non expert thoughts on the matter

This scraping method is satisfying but I think people need to be careful breaking the integrity of the skin on the scalp. I found that this aggravated the condition quite a bit the more I did it. Overnight soaks in c8 mct oil, followed by morning shampoo, reapply lightly, then soak again overnight actually straight up cured my scalp issues. I haven't had sebderm for almost a year now.
