the dermatitis condition affects his face mostly and he has a problem getting rid of the redness. any ideas of what to use ?? also, lately he isnt able to use any deo because it burns and gives him a rash. what is the best type to use ?? one for sensitive skin ??
My husband has a sort of dermatitis on his skin and he is irritated by certain deo. what type can he use ??
Almay hypoallergenic deodorant works very well for my son who has the same reaction to regular deodorants.
I'd try going with products that do not have fragrance.
Reply:if i were you i would go take him to see a doctor you shouldn't trust the Internet for medical information most of the people who use yahoo aren't qualified to answer a doctor will know what to do
Reply:I agree with both answers. Anything Hypo-Allergenic
and I'd talk with his doctor over his condition -
They may have something to prescribe that would help this situation - trust his doctors advice first hand.

What are good treatments for seborrheic dermatitis of the face?
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) causes dandruff on the scalp and causes inflamed, red flaky patches of dry skin on the face. I tried topical steroids on my face but it made my condition worse. Are there any other treatments for SD on the face? Supposedly SD is caused by the body's overreaction to yeast that normally live on the skin. This overreaction causes the inflammation and dryness. It is unknown why some people get SD but not others. I am using shampoos like Head and Shoulders for my scalp but don't know what to use on my face.
What are good treatments for seborrheic dermatitis of the face?
I have suffered with this problem since my early twenties. I have tried every OTC product you can imagine without much success. About 2 years ago I finally decided to try a dermatologist again. He prescribed a newer medication called Elidel, it's a topical cream that I put on once a day on affected areas (usually after I take a shower). This is about the only thing I have found that works well. It doesn't completely get rid of it, but it stops the itching and the redness...and I don't get asked if I have a sunburn on my face all the time....it has been a God send.
Reply:I got that once on my head and the docter told me to use this one solution called Scalpicin.It worrked really well and I don't see why you couldn't try it for your face.It burns a little,but it healed mine in a week.
Reply:Several of my clients have had great success with products that have Moroccan Rossoul in them. Pevonia Botanica has a Moroccan Rossoul powder that can be made into a paste and put on the scalp, brows, skin, that calms the inflammation and controls sebum production. It is in their body line and used as a body treatment but can be used for seborrhea. Calming the inflammation will help you keep your hands off of it and also allow the body time to heal. Use Pevonia's Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser followed by the Reactive Skin Care Cream to follow the treatment. Pevonia is sold in Spas or call their 1-800-Pevonia and ask where to get it in your area. Then there's www.pevonia.com. It's a hereditary condition so you'll probably just have to learn how to keep it calmed and exfoliated. Good Luck!
Reply:Try using Neutrogena transparent facial bar in original formula. It helps against fungus. I think that yeast and fungus are very similar. I overused antibiotics on my face, and it caused fungus to develop. The only thing that helps me is this soap.

Reply:go see a dermatologist, hey your avatar looks like mine!
Reply:Well I was going to give you a smart allecky answer, but I can't do that now. I would definitely say go see a dermatologist. My niece has eczema and the Dr. gave her some medicine for it and it seems to keep it 'calmed down' for lack of a better phrase.
Reply:I've been told that some people use dandruff shampoo as a soap to clean this stuff.
I've seen hydrocortizone cream can help, although it is a steriod (therefore, not good for long-term use) and doesn't give permanent results.
I've read that eczema is hypothesized to be allergic cells that work their way to the surface. If that is correct, you may need treatment for allergies.

Could a permanent retainer cause perioral dermatitis?
I have developed a weird, ugly dermatitis on my face that fits the perioral profile. The etiology is unknown, but there's a long list of suspects: all manner of personal care products, cosmetics, fluoride, fake cinnamon flavoring, food allergies, chemicals, medications, etc. I've tried many things %26amp; spent a lot of money trying to fix this problem, but it's still there. Now I'm wondering if the retainer I've had for 18 years could have anything to do with it. It's a long time to have a metal/cement thing in one's mouth. I know that the ADA claims fillings are totally stable %26amp; none of the material is absorbed into the body %26amp; all so no doubt that would be the official word about orthodontic appliances, as well. Studies show that fillings can certainly degrade and affect the body, though, so I worry that maybe I should get this thing out of my mouth. It's obviously different than a filling but does anyone know if this permanent orthodonture can be harmful to health?
Could a permanent retainer cause perioral dermatitis?
Not harmful to your health, but that does not mean that it could not cause some annoyances. In rare circumstances it has been documented that a person could be sensitive to many metals. Two metals that I have never heard of causing trouble are titanium, and gold. Both substances could be used to fabricate dental appliances, but gold is far more common.
Reply:sorry i'm not really answering your question, but for the perioral dermatitis you should try metronidazole (a kind of antibiotic, usually 250mg 2xdaily and after several weeks only one). this really gets rid of it and quickly - you will see results within days. the pills aren't great - you must take them for several months and you can't drink any alcohol while taking them but it is really worth it. i was very depressed because of perioral dermatitis but was lucky enough to come across a good dermatologist who recommended this treatment.

Anyone use baby sunscreen on infant dermatitis/eczema as a moisturizer?
Now that the weather is nice and sunny I have been taking my 3 month old outside. I put a little SPF 50 Waterbabies on her cheeks, arms, and legs and noticed that within 15 minutes her dermatitis was cleared up! Her skin felt so smooth again, like when she was born! Has anyone else had this kind of success with suncreen? What would be making it clear up? Does it act as a good moisturizer?
Anyone use baby sunscreen on infant dermatitis/eczema as a moisturizer?
Most sunscreen has zinc oxide in it, the same ingredient as diaper rash cream. You should ask her Dr. about this, I was told by my Dr. not to use sunscreen on a baby until they are 6 months old, due to the high amounts of zinc.
Reply:I have used sunscreen as a lotion before, and I have used hair conditioner on my eczema when I was younger...bur now I am kinda allergic to that conditioner...but I would use it till it doesn't work anymore.
Reply:It may be the sun thats clearing it up. Or somethign in the house that shes reacting to causing the eczema.

I just got diagnosed with dermatitis...Please help.?
I have dermatitis all over my body. Legs, feet, armpits, hands(real bad). Is this something that will go away soon or by itself? What is the best way to deal with it, and is it spreadable to other people? My wife is pregnant and I don't want it to affect her. I went to my doctor and he just gave me a stereroid and anti itch pills. I feel a little left in the dark about it. Can anyone help me please?
I just got diagnosed with dermatitis...Please help.?
From what I understand, dermatitis is usually like an "allergic" reaction on the skin. Did you switch to a new laundry soap? From what I know, doctors will perscribe creams to help it go away...it's usually pretty simple and disappears very fast.
here's some info for you:

I don't believe it's contagious, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Sounds like your doctor is kind of a jerk.... :)

Reply:Ring NHS Direct. They will give you the information you need.
Reply:Apply cod liver oil, vitamin E oil, or aloe vera gel to affected areas.
Take chickweed, dandelion, red clover, Redmond clay, and yellow dock in capsule form.
Reply:You should change your lifestyle into healthy eating%26amp;exercise regularly,drink a lot of water,fruits%26amp;vegetables as a cleansing diets 5-8meals a day,even w/ your hygiene...Get well Zoom
Reply:i have got the same as you, i have had myn years , it has cleared up a little, it is only on my legs know. it is not catchable, so your wife will be fine, i have tried all sorts of creams and pills but nothing seems to work, you must keep it dry, and they do suggest sunbathing, it drys it up , but its the wrong time of year for that so keep applying the cream that your doctor gave you and good luck...
Reply:Don't use soap.
Reply:I will give you some very simple advice, that works. Stop using all soaps on your body... and do not take hot showers, or hot baths. Believe me this will really help. Just take showers, using just water and do not use soap, not even under your arms. Stop using all soaps which are really not good for our skin anyways. After about 2 weeks most of your itching should go away and your skin should return to normal. Don't rub your skin, and do use anti-itch products. Be kind to your skin, it is begging to be pampered. By the way, when you stop using soap, you will probably think you will begin to smell, this is not true, simply bathing or showering with water will be enough.
Reply:Dermatitis is basically a rash. I would introduce a high-potency mutivitamin supplement with additional amounts of vitamin C,E and Zinc. At the the same time vitamin E oil may be applied to rashes. Also if you like you can take an Oatmeal bath. 2 cups of regular oatmeal and 2 quarts of water cook together fo 15 min. put mixture into a cloth bag, preferably cotton, and tie a string tightly around top. Then fill tub half full with warm water use bag of oatmeal as a washcloth(no soap), squeezing the gruel out while soaking in the tub. Try an oatmeal bath for 3-4 days and by the 5th day the rash should have subsided

Does anyone have any suggestion or remadies for dermatitis which is non steriod and non quarterzone?
Any ideas for dermatitis treatments on hands, groin, chest and legs. It is very itchy and very red. Currently been using a dermatitis soap. Unfortunatly due tom server allergies to steriods and quarterzone these cannot be used. Anyone have any other treatments to help get it under wraps.
Does anyone have any suggestion or remadies for dermatitis which is non steriod and non quarterzone?
I know my friend had a mild case of dermatitis on the edges of her face, and i also was believed to have dematitis which turned out to be a infection [so not much of help]
But when my friend and i had in her case dermatitis we were told to use Cetaphil, which I know is a Cleansing Product. It is perfect for sensitive skin, and a believe it does not contain steriod or quaterzone.
Here is the indgredient list;
Ingredients: Purified Water, PEG-200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate (and) PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Acrylates/Steareth-20 Methacrylate Copolymer, Glycerin, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Masking Fragrance, Panthenol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben.
Although, this may not be strong enough for a severe case of dermatitis, i know it worked for my friend [Wash face with it morning and night until it clears up].
As for me, now i keep it at hand for make-up removal ;). Extra handy for that time you accidently miss with your eyeliner and draw a huge line down your face %26gt;.%26gt;.
I don't know whether Cetaphil is available internationally, but i live in australia so yeah...
Reply:lac hydrin lotion or cream......it might also say ammonium lactic acid on the label......stings when you put it on but if you put it on, on a regular basis, it works and keeps you clear of the dermatitis
Reply:I believe that you may have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa. It is a condition of re-occurring boils/ cysts/abscesses , that are often misdiagnosed as ingrown hairs, herpes, being unclean and folliculitis. This is a newly diagnosed skin condition , but there is a lot of info out there.
Here is a link :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidradeniti...
If this sounds like it might be you, READ it, PRINT it out, and TAKE it to your DOC.
Its better to try to start treatment soon, it can spread over the body if left untreated. These boils can become quite large and painful. Sometimes even lasting for weeks or months , do not attempt to POP them they can then tunnel under your skin and spread all over the body. Most common areas are armpits, groin, binkni line, inner legs, and intimate places and basically anywhere that sweats and rub against clothing. Stress is a big inducer.
There is some support groups at MSN
(http://groups.msn.com/HidradenitisSuppor...
and yahoo, and I am open for questions!
I have had this for 8 years, I was misdiagnosed for a LONG time, It was very embarrassing, painful and scary. I am just trying to help out so you don’t have to wait as long as I did.
