My theory is that if you go a good 1 year eating the whole foods 80/10/10 diet which will make your seb derm disappear... and then you start eating bad again, say you eat pizza, cheeseburgers & everything in between, if within a week or maybe a month, you start noticing symptoms again, then unfortunately it is true that diet is not the cure for it. but if you eat fairly bad for a few weeks and it DOES NOT come back one bit, then we know that the diet can be a cure. Rob Stuart on YouTube has been on the good diet for years and all his skin problems went away. It would be wonderfu ...

ive had it with this stupid disease. i dont have the energy or the patience to watch everything i f’in eat and i dont have the time to scratch my head all f’in day. if i use steroid cream for 3 days, once a day, my scalp is back to normal. it stays normal for several days after that like around 3 weeks. i think im gonna use the cream once a week to keep things at bay. i think using it once a week won’t be causing damage to be honest... anyone else out there contains their scalp SD with steroid creams? does it stop working after awhile?   [End]

Thanks for sharing your story. As the other poster said, can you please let us know if we can use this on the scalp and how long did you leave the oil before you washed it off? thanks   [End]

go vegan for a month and let us know how your seb derm is doing. lots of fruits, veggies, legumes, herbs. keep spices at a moderate level. no oils. carbs should be at 80% of diet. fat at 10%. protein at 10%. also avoid gluten for the time being. there is no other way to fix this issue. u have to go on this diet for 6mo-1 year to reverse the damage your diet throughout the years has caused.   [End]

The question is: do they deserve to be sued? Companies are producing terrible food for humans, loaded with salt, sugar, fat, chemicals, etc. Why wouldn’t we blame them? The food industry is completely destroying people’s lives. Look at how many people are developing Seb Derm now a days. It’s a disgrace. If it’s damaging to the body, it should be banned from being sold as food. Doesn’t anyone else find it crazy how so many people are having terrible skin conditions now a days?   [End]

the redness is starting to return everywhere. these pics are actually a bad representation. a few days after i took these pics, the redness disappeared even more. pretty much no redness. now, which has been a few months, the redness is starting to show up everywhere. but ive been eating like crap so that’s def. 1 of the reasons. it’s unbelievable how the redness disappears when i go on vacation. what i need to try now is to go on vacation but not go in the ocean. i want to see if i can rule out the sea water.   [End]

The only thing I noticed cleans up my Seb Derm is a vacation. I think the redness is 100% caused by stress. I went on vacation for 8 days and got lots of sun & swam in the ocean a lot. before: after: This is about 95% cleared if not 100%. The other side was worse. Before: after: [Image Embedded Here]   [End]

so im starting to think the redness on your scalp is caused by one thing and the flakyness caused by something else. based on years of experience, im coming to the following conclusion: 1. stress causes the redness on my scalp. 2. certain foods cause dandruff. this is the test I did. i work in the tech field and its very stressful. i noticed that every time i went on vacation, my redness would disappear, like 100% within 2-4 days. the redness goes away EVEN THOUGH, im eating literally everything. dairy, eggs, gluten, etc. every time i go on vacation, i go to the beach a ...

This is an absolute terrible disease. It affects you in every part of your life. I’ve been depressed about it for a few years now. I first got it my senior year in college about 6 years ago. At first, as everyone else, I went to a dermatologist. Got the steroid creams and used it for a few days, a couple of times a month. That would do the trick and I could eat whatever. (at that point I had no idea food had anything to do with it). The first problem: I don’t know what foods I can and cannot eat. I know for a FACT that dairy is a problem. It automatically causes flakiness a ...

Before getting seb derm, did you ever eat sea food? If so, how often. Say, per week? I have seb derm and I basically never ate sea food in my life. I’m about to embark on a diet rich in fish (mainly salmon) to see if it has any effect whatsoever on my condition. Anyway, I was just wondering if not eating sea food is a common factor among all of us with Seb Derm.   [End]

Hey OP, I disagree. I have seb derm and dairy is by far the biggest culprit. Other things that cause problems: gluten, caffeine, and vinegar.   [End]

I’m sure a lot of you may know this already but if you don’t, good. I have Seb Derm on my scalp. 6 months ago or so, I started to mess with my diet. In ONE WEEK all the redness and flaking literally disappeared. 100%. I looked at the mirror while i moved around my hair to check out my scalp and I literally went ”hoooolllyyyy $hitttt” scalp was white as snow. what was i eating during this week? - white rice - chicken with full fat/skin (chicken tarna) - garlic + canola oil - a variety of vegetables chopped up - deli ham - fruits & vegan protein powder. wait a minute. i ...

ahhh man. i have seb derm (mainly on my scalp) i’ve been on a fairly strict diet for several weeks now and my symptoms havent changed at all and im guess its because of the GOD D*** BROWN RICE.

hello all, im new here and reading this forum makes me feel better about myself. a little bit about me: im 28 years old, male. i developed scalp psoriasis (or seborrheic dermatitis) on my scalp my senior year in college back in ’05. when i first had an outbreak, large portions of my scalp were VERY red. this redness was on the scalp only and didnt go anywhere else on my head. after years of having flaky/red & itchy scalp, i began to realize that food was contributing to it. dairy & gluten are the biggest problem foods. i have also noticed tomato sauce, peppers, peanuts, ...
