Facial Seborrheic Dermatitis?

I've had seborrheic dermatitis around my nose, cheeks, and forehead for about 4 years. It used to be only in the winter, but now it is year-round. I think it started out as dandruff when I was around 8, and now I am 17 years old. I have acne in the exact same areas, making it difficult to use moisturizer to smooth the scaly skin. I have tried 1% hydrocortisone cream, dandruff shampoos to the face, tea tree oil, aloe vera, and over-the-counter lotions for contact dermatitis. I know that seborrhea is caused by a fungus. This may be TMI, but I am also prone to yeast infections. How can I get rid of the seborrhea? How can I get all the nasty fungus out of my body. I'm so embarrassed going to school every day with flaky skin.

You may try washing your face and hair every 3-4 days with something like Head-and-Shoulders or Selsin Blue (spelling?). Selsin Blue may be best.

Reply:I know for yeast infections that eating yogurt helps restore the good bacteria to a normal level. Have you seen a dermatologist?
Reply:The seborrhea can be gradually gotten rid of at each time. However, it may return. It is mostly happened in the winter. Nevertheless, It is possible to have it all year-round. If you are treated correctly, there would be a less chance of seborrhea's happenning.
