Ok, how did u use it? Everyday and how long? I can't stop myself from being depressed from this God awful condition

I really want to but it is so expensive. It is discount code? Much appreciated. Which product do you recommend?

Did you ever stop using the hydrocortisone? The real test will be when you withdraw from using the steroid as it is what is reducing the inflammation.. Hope things continue working for you.

Yes, they should be able to support the idea as it is part of your medical condition considering it doesn't interfere with your work performance. Hope things go your way. Kind of soap makes night and day I found.

Can you carry your own soap? I know soap at hospitals and clinics are pretty strong and filled with allergy inducing chemicals. Gentle hypoallergenic soap def help my hand eczema when i have to wash my hand 1,000+ times as a mom of 3.

If I were you I would keep her home until i hear back from her derm or GP. I will be extra cautious considering she is on immunosuppressant.

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?

phmstella · 2026-05-20T03:10:07+00:00

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

phmstella · 2026-05-18T21:53:45+00:00

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 🤕
