Seb Derm: What Worked For Me

Have had SebDerm for over 30 years and just found combination which has freed me from steroids and protopic face cream. First, I started soaking my face in dead Sea Salt water. Every evening at first, and now just about twice a week.

Second, as soon as I am done washing face or showering, I put on CeraVe moisturizing lotion - liberally. I could not put any other kind of cream on my face because they'd all seem to make the SebDerm condition worse but this stuff works.

Lastly, I cut out drinking milk at the same time I started the salt solution soaking. Not all dairy - just drinking milk. I think this is also helping. My skin has not looked better since my early 20s!

By the way, I went through about a week where I was completely cold turkey quitting the face creams like Protopic, Elidel and steroids - my skin went a little nutso during that time but then settled down. It's a withdrawal period and may be different time wise for everyone. Just stick with it and get off the creams. The ONLY cream i do keep on hand is a .02 Ketoconazole. I only have used it a couple times when my skin started to get a little dry even with the moisturizing cream.

I don't want to jinx myself and say I am cured, but what I am doing now has worked for over 2 months and if not cured, it is definitely under control.
