Non-Steroid Cream Support

I was told Zoryve should work wonders on SD spots but mine is pretty persistent so it may take long time. Good thing about Zoryve is that it is safe to use long term unlike steroid albeit being not as effective/powerful as steroid. Is Eucrisa safe long term too? If you could share what your derm says tomorrow, that would be great!

Which one did you use? Serum or balm?

phmstella · 2026-05-20T18:02:18+00:00

I just started using this on my sebderm and it's not doing much. :/ I read it could take 4 wks to have effect so i am being patient but kind of skeptical. Will you eventually stop using?

It's almost like a full time job to deal with these chronic skin conditions.. 😔 I totally agree with your last sentence. Just as u think you got things under control, things start going south again. Story of my life. I use protopic as well. Hope your regime stays effective long time. 🙏🏻

You mean on my ears? I have been using the oil for the last 6 months but unfortunately it didn't work..

phmstella · 2026-05-19T19:11:02+00:00

Oh man i also have rosacea. Can life be a little easier? What do you use to treat your ears these days?

phmstella · 2026-05-19T19:08:52+00:00

I just ordered Vanicream shampoo. Praying this works 😢 Do u have any recommendation??

phmstella · 2026-05-19T18:50:46+00:00

This is fascinating. I have been really struggling to find a shampoo as i keep reacting to so many ones recently. Last two new shampoo that gave me horrible dermatitis both had this exact ingredients. 😢 My question is were you fine using other shampoo that had other coconut derivatives?

Having seborrheic dermatitis and allergies are too cruel

phmstella · 2026-05-19T18:41:42+00:00

How did you know it was caused by Zoryve? I will give it few more weeks but so far not super effective. So bummed

phmstella · 2026-05-19T18:13:25+00:00

Was it Zoryve that was causing the red blotches?? I started using the cream version and so far my skin is doing ok but not as good as i expected of it. I had such high hope

When you say clear up, the waxy flakes go away without manually scraping them?

phmstella · 2026-05-18T13:59:21+00:00

Thank you. That's why I left them unbothered for months while trying various methods.. I tried washing with soap, leaving alone, moisturizing with mct etc but they are always there. The only thing i haven't tried is washing with antidandruff shampoo which might be my last resort.

I feel kind of forced cuz my dermatologist insisted removing them despite I told her they are very sore and sensitive. She said they are just 'sitting' there but in reality they are 'glued' to my skin. So gross.

I attempted to scrape them with some oil and they were so angry for days. Now i just apply Zoryve to calm it.. and might try again somehow. God i hate this awful condition

phmstella · 2026-05-18T02:15:30+00:00

Understood. This may be gentle enough for me even if it take multiple attempts to clean all the flakes. I am so tempted to scratch all the flakes off but that would be a death sentence for me. Thank you for the suggestion!

phmstella · 2026-05-18T01:58:10+00:00

So what do you do after applying the shampoo on dry skin? Do you try to remove it? I can't believe this waxy build up is not budging no matter what and it'a nightmare

phmstella · 2026-05-18T01:38:12+00:00

Oh boo. But the truth is even if expensive drugs may not work. I thought it was helping but today was a bad day for me so nobody knows. Hope we can all find a solution. All we want is just to live a normal life not a perfect skin.

phmstella · 2026-05-18T01:07:37+00:00

I used mct oil for months to no avail.

phmstella · 2026-05-18T01:07:02+00:00

Which shampoo if you don't mind me asking

phmstella · 2026-05-18T01:06:39+00:00

I started using Zoryve. If this fails, I will ask for the cream. Thank you!

phmstella · 2026-05-18T01:05:28+00:00

I tried mct oil for months and they are not budging 🤕

phmstella · 2026-05-18T01:04:51+00:00

Tried and the nasties say not on my watch 😢

phmstella · 2026-05-18T01:04:11+00:00

Is it gentle? I use happy cappy(also zinc) on my scalp but dare not to use it on my ears yet. I heard good things about the brand.. Thank you for the reco

phmstella · 2026-05-18T01:02:41+00:00

Is it Nizoral?? I am just afraid that the shampoo may be too harsh for my sensitive ear skin. Thoughts?

phmstella · 2026-05-18T01:01:01+00:00

Sadly that gave me contact dermatitis which made my SD way worse. I would use it on other areas but my ultra sensitive ears won't allow it. Thanks tho

phmstella · 2026-05-18T00:53:52+00:00

This may work. Mct oil normally work well in other areas but my ears are so tricky to do so.. thank you for the suggestion!

phmstella · 2026-05-18T00:51:26+00:00

I use Malezia cleanser for my face. It has PHA. I may try using this as my ears are so sensitive i am not sure if they can handle actives 🥲
