I do not suffer from acne (I sometimes get an occasional pimple here and there but mostly on my shoulder/back area).
My issue is I have seborrheic dermatitis
For those who are unfamiliar, basically my skin gets red and flaky. It does not constantly happen however unfortunately for me it happens on my face.
My dermatologist has prescribed a cream which helps tremendously, usually if I eat well, do not get stressed out and drink lots of fluid I am fine, however it does flare up about 1-5 times a month.
Putting the cream on usually results in 90% of the redness gone, and any itching or irritation is gone.
This cream is a topical steroid so I try to use it sparingly as topical steroids tend to thin out your skin and it's quite easy to build up a tolerance.
I guess the only person who can honestly answer this is someone who has the same skin condition as me. I'm worried the extra activity oil that my skin will secrete possibly causing more redness and discomfort.
If anyone has this condition or can shed some light on this subject it would be greatly appreciated.
