I have been diagnosed with Folliculitis Decalvans of the scalp, and had a biopsy that confirmed the presence of Seborric dermatitis on my face and other areas of the body. This condition has been going on for about 8 years, and I have tried every cream/shampoo possible.
Many people in these forums have been using and suggest using Virgin Coconut oil for all types of skin issues, I would like to Thank them, it has been so beneficial to me.
I have been using Virgin Coconut oil now for around two months on a daily basis and my condition has never been better, I am not cured, and more than likely will never be, but I have seen real progress.
The Virgin Coconut oil I buy is organic and sold at health food stores, it comes solid so I put it on the stove in a small container and slowly heat it to it becomes liquid. I apply a thin layer on my whole face and soak my bad areas of the scalp with it, then wrap a towel around the area for sometimes just a few minutes to up to a hour.
I have also stopped using all shampoos such as H&D and Nizoral, I am convinced these were making me worse and spreading this condition, now this may just because my skin is so sensitive.
I only use a bar of soap on my body and scalp in the shower, I shower once sometimes twice a day.... look for the bars of soap at the health stores make sure they contain only natural products, I am not going to give any brand names, but they should contain something like the following: Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Palm Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Water, Mentha Arvensis, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Peppermint Oil.
My skin was so dry and cracking, it is now much more moisturized and healthy.
Diet: I have tried to eliminate all sugars, caffeine, and eat very little flour/corn products, I did the anti candida diet for 2 months before I got the flu and started eating anything just to get some weight back on.
Virgin Coconut Oil has been the best thing I every have used, here is what it has almost cured
dandruff on the scalp, dandruff on beard and neck area, seb derm break outs on face and body,
cracks by my ears on scalp area that were very painful, and has helped my Folliculitis decalvans immensely.
Try using it once a day, I would recommend using it first during the day, since it may burn at first you may need to wash it off, start in a small area, it may take a while to kill off whatever is living in that area.
When you start to get it under control and experience no burning leave it on all night, this is the most important part in my opinion since the fungi/mites which may help cause/spread this condition are most active at night when the host is sleeping... do not forget to get your eyebrows and your whole hairline with Virgin Coconut oil.
For really tough spots I have had to use Protopic in the past, but so far Virgin Coconut oil has replaced all medications.
I know how painful this condition is both Physically and mentally, I write this in the hopes this helps someone out there.
