Foundation for sensitive dry skin and skin with dermatitis?


My skin is dry so I use lotion and take oral medication for dermatitis and those usually keep it under control, but sometimes I want to wear foundation. This makes my skin flare up with dry patches and it hurts. I've tried so many different kinds and none of them seem to be good for dry skin. Anybody have any recommendations?
----------

Hi there :) I have dry skin and dermatitis myself. The combination that has worked complete wonders for me was L'Oreal FUTUR.E moisturizer for normal to dry skin, and to top it off with L'Oreal True Match powder or foundation. The powder seems to work better with me and causes me to sweat less. They both last all day on my skin, don't clog my pores and did not cause any breakouts.

Hopefully that works for you too. Good luck!  (+ info)

How to reduce seborrhoeic dermatitis dandruff?


I have Seborrhoeic dermatitis, and ive been to the doctor twice about it and gotten 2 different medical shampoos, and they work for about a month but after that they start not working anymore. I shower every morning and for the past few months ive been washing every day, will it help if i reduce the amount of wash my hair to 3 times a week or around there? Within an hour of my hair drying, i have flakes cmooing out every time i move my head! Its terrible and any help you can provide would be great!!!!

I have a relaxer in my hair and have seborrhiec dermatitis. Would growing my hair naturally solve the problem?


I was recently diagnosed with dermatitis and its been slowly been getting worse. And getting constant relaxers really isn't helping with the problem and the shampoo hasn't been working. I'm just a bit desperate for a cure right now.
----------

1] stop relaxers for a while - may or may not be making prob worse
2] comb out hair, and massge scalp before shampoo - will help 'loosen' flakes
3] use the shampoo as directed, frequently as directed
4] if no improvement after one week, ask doc for a new prescription
6] ALSO may help:
a] eat clean - avoid fried, fast, and junk foods - even diet junk foods
b] take a good multivitamin with minerals daily
c] drink 1/2 gallon of water daily  (+ info)

What Shampoo and Conditioner should I use for irritated skin, and what will help my dermatitis?


I have very irritated skin.(I have really bad dermatitis all over my body) If I use "normal" shampoo and conditioner it only seems to make my hands hurt worse. I can't get in to the dermatologist until January 7. I was also wondering if anyone knows anything I could try to help my dermatitis. Thanks for the help!!
----------

They have Aveeno shampoo and conditioner. I use Aveeno lotion as well for my KP and so far, it's been the most gentle on my skin after I exfoliate my skin. I love it! Try something with oatmeal in it or something organic (some of these products are pretty cheap).  (+ info)

can sebhorreic dermatitis be caused by repetitive friction to a body part?


In this case I rub my ears and have noticed sebhorreic dermatitis has developed. I assume because of the constant repetitive friction to my pinna. Am i correct. Any input from a medical professional will help and serious answers only. Thank you.
----------

yes  (+ info)

I have suffered from this condition for almost all my life.
Recently, I found out about "Aveeno 1% hidrocortizone" cream, it was working wonderfully for about 2 weeks until suddenly its stops to work and my condition got back to what it was before....
If you know of any treatment that was successful for you or someone you know, please let me know.
My dermatitis has affected my scalp, eyebrow, eye's skins area and the T-zone.
I thank you all for your answers ;0)

What are the available medications for treating Seborrheic Dermatitis?


What are the available medications for treating Seborrheic Dermatitis, both prescription and over-the-counter? Also list side effects if you know them please.
----------

Either ask your doc for a prescription for Nizoral shampoo or go to the local drug store or grocery store and get the non-prescription version of it..same name. The prescription version works a bit better but the non-prescription works just as well except you hafta use it longer to get the same results from what I noticed using the different ones. I dont of any side effects per say except that for me, it seems to get worse before it gets better. Just use every other day for about 2 weeks to a month and then once a week or once every other week there after it has cleared up. You cannot get rid of this but this shampoo will kepp it under control if used the way I decribed. Or you can also try Nutrogena T-Gel shampoo you can buy at a drug store or grocery store as well but I found this not to work for me. Good Luck, it is a very frustrating condition to have and live with.  (+ info)

Does anyone know of an effective treatment for seborrheic dermatitis on the face?


Ever since I had mono 1 year ago, I've had seborrheic dermatitis (SD) on my face and scalp. Can a lowered immune system from an illness such as mono ever trigger this? The dermatologist who diagnosed it put me on a steroid cream for my face but it made my condition worse. Are there any other facial treatments for this condition besides steroid creams? I had clear skin before the SD hit. Now I get dry red itcy blotches all over my face and scalp especially in the cold winter months.
----------

I hate to say it but till this day there is no such cure for seborrheic dermatitis. It can appear and disappear randomly. I'm dealing with this annoying thing for four years now. I'm currently taking a pill (sorry do not remember the name of the medication but will let you know) and a cream (again, can't remember..) which is not cortisone based. (I'll probably need another pill for memory). Do not use cortisone or steroid creams as they might be effective in the beginning but gradually wear out your skin leaving it thinner and thinner, in some cases causing little visible capillary vanes. I try to eat as healthy as possible, a lot of vegies and fruit, not much bread (yeast) as I used to, occasionally do saunas, do exercise and try to keep my skin as clean as possible. I guess the only thing we can do is keep treating it the best way we can and hope that one day it will go away. Let's be optimistic.. it'll have to go away!!!  (+ info)

My feet burn, peel, bleed, itch and are always dry. No doctor knows what it is other than dermatitis. All medicines that have been prescribed don't work. Any ideas? It is very painful.
