Can certain types of food make my condition worse?
Yes , eating certain types of foods can trigger a flareup. Individuals with oily skin seem more likely to suffer from SD. Try to avoid oily or fatty foods such as salad dressing, potato chips, mayonnaise, french fries, etc… Is there a connection between acne and seborrheic dermatitis? The connection between these two skin conditions is the oil on your skin also known as sebum. Sebum lubricates and protects the hair and skin and prevents drying and irritation of membranes. Sebum may collect excessively as a result of a diet rich in fats, or accelerated glandular activity, especially during adolescence. Excessive secretions of sebum may be related to acne, certain forms of baldness, and other skin disorders such as seborrheic dermatitis. What kind of treatment are you currently using? I have personally had the most success with raw honey. It is inexpensive and relatively easy to find. Long term use of raw honey produces no side effects.
