Guest guest Posted December 26, 2001 Report Share Posted December 26, 2001 Like most people, I have tried things which seem to work, but then realised any subsequent relief tended to be just coincidence. The condition always returned. So I'm very wary about stating anything helps seb derm, as I'm never sure. However for the past month I have had amazing relief from my seb derm, my skin has never been just as clear, particularly in the winter. My skin is always far worse come the cold weather, so I'm so surprised at how good it is. Now I've been taking certain additives to my diet, and I have to stress, I didn't take them to see the effect on seb derm. That wasn't my intention. So for the past 2 months I've been eating fresh nuts ( from the health shop) nearly everyday - Brazils, cashews etc, and also sunflower seeds everyday as well. I've also been taking a helping of live yogurt daily. Yogurt of course is very helpful to our digestive system, and an awful lot of problems including skin, originate from this system. Now I am very aware that my skin being so good and this addition to my diet, could be a classic case of coincidence. However I feel this is worth mentioning. I can't remember the last Christmas I had such good skin. I'm very sceptical about the effects of diet, on things like seb derm normally. I've eaten rubbish in the past and have had great skin! I notice an awful lot of people who post here talk about this skin lotion and that skin lotion - I use NOTHING on my skin, I wash with water only. Experience has taught me that all these magical potions just end up causing a flare up. Yes I sometimes use cortisone ( sparingly) but that's it. I think all these conditioners/potions/creams are just a big moneyspinner, and cannot help your seb derm. I must add I do not have rosacea. So I just wanted to mention about this. I will continue to take the nuts and yogurt daily and see what happens- Who knows ? Good luck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
