No need for garlic and I don't recommend seawater for many reasons (madamewell.com/sea-water-seborrheic-dermatitis/). I recommend my favourite shampoos in this article including some natural options: madamewell.com/best-shampoo-seborrheic-dermatitis/ Hope this helps!

@madamewell and what about mct oil , I read that it makes wonders , thanks for the recommendation tho

MCT oil is safe to use when you have seb derm but it's not a cure/treatment. You may find this seb derm directory helpful: madamewell.com/seborrheic-dermatitis/

This is the link: tidd.ly/3TFzZGt

Glad to hear you got your seb derm under control :)

You're welcome :D

You only need to use it twice a day for 2 weeks then maybe few days every month for a while and when your rash is better, just use it as needed.

Thank you for your feedback. Glad I could help.

You're welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for the feedback

Neem oil doesn't actually have any proven anti-Malassezia properties but neem extract does. You can read the deep dive in this article: madamewell.com/neem-oil-seborrheic-dermatitis/

Glad I could help!

Thank you!

@@madamewell Thank you 😊

"May I ask a quick question? I am reading your sunscreen recommendations on your website. Is it okay that the BaBo Sunscreen and Raw Elements contain oils like shea butter and sunflower oil? Also, when looking at sunscreen ingredients, what are the standout ingredients to avoid, and which are star ingredients I should look for?"

Unfortunately it's almost impossible to find a sunscreen that doesn't contain any 'risky' oils. However, the amount of oils present in the product in relation to the other compounds reduces the risk of sunscreen triggering a seb derm flare. Start with a small amount and if you feel your sunscreen is causing issues, try a different one. I prefer physical sunscreens due to the reasons I outlined in the article.

@@madamewell Thank you so much. That makes a lot of sense. I appreciate it.

Sage oil contains >50% LCFAs which feeds Malassezia so not recommended for seb derm. Generally speaking, applying any oil on your face just makes it oilier. It's not a treatment for seb derm or acne. Use an antifungal cream twice a day to treat seb derm. You can watch this video for more info: ruclips.net/video/fuQQFdSfA8g/видео.html or go to madamewell.com/seborrheic-dermatitis/ for a deep dive.

@@madamewell ok thank you.

MCT oil isn't actually a treatment for seb derm. It's just an oil that doesn't feed Malassezia. Use an antifungal cream twice a day to treat. You can watch this video for more info: ruclips.net/video/fuQQFdSfA8g/видео.html or go to madamewell.com/seborrheic-dermatitis/ for a deep dive. Hope this helps.

Yes, but instead of mixing tea tree oil in a carrier oil, mix it in your shampoo instead.

Which shampoo?

These are my recommended shampoos madamewell.com/best-shampoo-seborrheic-dermatitis/ but you can start with a few drops of tea tree oil in your current shampoo if you already have one that suits your hair type.

If you're deficient in vitamin D, 20 minutes of morning sun or a vitamin D supplement is the best way to correct it.

No, castor oil has long-chain fatty acids that feed Malassezia. Buy tea tree oil essential oil and use an oil that is safe e.g squalane oil. You can check out more carrier oils that are safe here: madamewell.com/best-carrier-oils-seborrheic-dermatitis/ and this article has a list of oils that feed malassezia: madamewell.com/seborrheic-dermatitis-oils-to-avoid/ Hope this helps.

Yes, they are not causes of seb derm but both may trigger a flare.

Totally get it. This guide would be a good place to start: madamewell.com/seborrheic-dermatitis-treatment/ If you want to dig deeper, there's plenty of articles on my website: madamewell.com/seborrheic-dermatitis-treatment/ hope this helps

Yes to all of your questions but tea tree oil has better antifungal activity than rosemary oil. Both can be used on your scalp and face but rosemary oil has the anecdotal benefits of improving scalp/hair health. If you're looking to treat seb derm, oils are not as effective as an antifungal cream. You can watch some of the other videos on my channel or read this article: madamewell.com/seborrheic-dermatitis-skincare-routine/ on my website. There's lots of guides on my seb derm page. Hope this helps :)

actually you should try an antifungal cream instead of oil

my general rule: start using the antifungal cream twice a day for 2 weeks again then reapply once every week for a month then once every 2 weeks for a few months, then once a month for a few months. With the humidity, your skin may be too oily and sweaty. You may need to wash your face with water a few times a day and try to stay cool. hope this helps :)

​@@madamewell hi this trick worked like charm. I think from last 5 months I've had only one flare up and that got sorted. Is there a way I can thank you personally for the change you've bought in my life? Thank you!!

@@vaibhav0karkera00 thank you for letting me know. Happy that I could help :)

Batana oil is high in oleic acid, which is a long chain fatty acid that can cause more irritation and feed Malassezia. Therefore, it's not recommended.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought it was a bit freaky too but it allowed me to make videos very quickly without showing my face. If you have any ideas how else I can do it, happy to consider.

Show your face, it’s much more natural and authentic.

@zb5797 I agree. However, for personal and professional reasons, I decided not to show my face.

It is Not creepy at all! It looks great :) keep it up! ❤️

I don't usually recommend applying oil on the scalp as it gets oily and itchy. If you have scalp seb derm, use an anti-fungal shampoo instead. These are my recommendations: madamewell.com/best-shampoo-seborrheic-dermatitis/

I thought the AI voice would be easier to listen to than mine but you're not the only one who didn't like it. I've switched back to using my own voice. Thank you for your feedback and for sharing :)

You can watch this video about which oils to avoid: ruclips.net/video/0Ur-c6cPI9I/видео.html Frankincense oil has some antifungal properties and squalane oil (any brand) doesn't feed seb derm but the best treatment for seb derm is anti-fungal cream. You can watch this video for details on how to use it: studio.ruclips.net/user/videofuQQFdSfA8g/edit I don't have many videos but this page on my website lists all you need to know about seb derm: madamewell.com/seborrheic-dermatitis/ Hope this helps!

@@madamewell thank you I watched your videos I do use ketoconozole topical cream but I cannot use it straight from tube because my skin is dry and it irritates my skin worse 😫....my dermatologist has me mix it with vaseline which I don't get the full benefit of it and end up on steroids which I've been on in the past it helped a great deal but causes my face to get red cuz of rosacea I have she put me on mid strength which I thought was to much for my skin it was called triamcinolone acetonide ointment 1 percent.....now with frankincense oil what carrier oil do you recommend because my dermatologist don't listen when I've told her about certain oils that flare me up how would you mix it the frankincense and what ever carrier oil u recommend.....what about calendula oil would that be a good one......I always look for ones that say antifungal properties I seen where emu oil was on to avoid but its antifungal and they have researched where it helps with itching and scaling and redness but it don't clear it up plz contact me at your earliest convenience thanks 😊

Try mixing ketoconazole cream with a gentle moisturizer. Alternatively, try clotrimazole cream 1% which I feel is gentler on the skin. Vaseline isn't great for seb derm. These are the only carrier oils I recommend: madamewell.com/best-carrier-oils-seborrheic-dermatitis/ However, if your skin is already oily, sometimes using oil makes it worse. There are quite a few essential oils with antifungal properties (I have the list here: madamewell.com/best-oils-for-seborrheic-dermatitis/) but at the end of the day, antifungal cream is more effective than any essential oil. Hope this helps :)

My cheeks is dry my t-zone is normal only place I get seborrheic dermatitis flare up is cheeks I will do that mixing ketoconozole with a gentle moisturizer did your skin feel like lil sandpaper bumps and did your skin go back to being smooth again....im wondering cuz normally my dermatologist puts me on corticosteroid and it cleared the sandpaper bumps will ketoconozole make my skin smooth again?.....since my cheeks is dry which oil woukd be best to use after I'm cleared up from my facial seborrheic dermatitis the mct oil or which squalane oil one plant derived from olives or plant derived from sugar cane what makes the difference I read so many things and it really don't give which is best for dry skin on cheeks they always say oily bur to I have rosacea I usually don't break out look to hear your opinion thanks for info and for contacting me looking to hear back

Yes MCT oil is derived from coconut oil. The major difference is that MCT oil doesn't contain long chain fatty acids that feed Malassezia. You can read more about it here: madamewell.com/mct-oil-seborrheic-dermatitis/ Hope this helps.

I use coconut for my seb derm and skin and works great. Everyone's skin is different. Its NOT the coconut oil. Its your own skins reaction. Although its a bit heavy, it DOES penetrate and does NOT just sit and clog pores when used in small amounts.

Niacinamide can help with repairing your skin but and reduces the severity of seb derm but the best treatment for seb derm is actually anti-fungal cream. I have a video here about it: ruclips.net/video/fuQQFdSfA8g/видео.html If you prefer a natural alternative, tea tree oil is probably your best bet. You can read more in this article: madamewell.com/tea-tree-oil-seborrheic-dermatitis/

That's because I primarily talk about seb derm. Most acne creams help with acne. If you think you have fungal acne, anti-fungal creams will help too.

I'm not a fan of dead sea salt (or any other salt) mainly because it dries out your skin so much that you can rebound oiliness. I wrote a couple of articles about this awhile ago about Himalayan salt and sea water you may be interested in: madamewell.com/himalayan-salt-seborrheic-dermatitis/ madamewell.com/sea-water-seborrheic-dermatitis/

SD is affected by a yeast called Malassezia, which is totally different from candida. Malassezia feeds on oils (your sebum) rather than sugar. A high intake of sugars from processed foods can increase sebum production but a moderate amount of sugar from fruits doesn't increase sebum production. Plus, fruits contain lots of other compounds like polyphenols, antioxidants, etc. which helps your gut microbiome, repair your cells and improve your immune system. Hope this helps.

Shampoo that contains SLS doesn't treat seb derm. Use an anti-dandruff shampoo on your chest instead. You can find my recommendations here: madamewell.com/best-shampoo-seborrheic-dermatitis/ Leave it on for a few minutes and wash off. Another option is to apply an antifungal cream twice a day. For example, clotrimazole cream: amzn.to/4bXxCqD

I use this shampoo called acm novophane sebo regulating shampoo what are your thoughts on it cuz it has been working for I have to apply it daily tho

I haven't used the shampoo before but looking at the ingredients, it doesn't contain any anti-fungal compounds. It also lists sodium laureth sulphate as one of the first ingredients which I don't like in my personal care products. I would still recommend the shampoos I listed in my article but if it's working for you and you don't mind the SLS, you can obviously continue using it.

You treat the underlying cause - the seb derm. Here is the link to an article about my favorite anti-dandruff shampoos: madamewell.com/best-shampoo-seborrheic-dermatitis/ but start with whatever you have at home first. Rosemary oil is supposed to help with hairloss and seb derm so maybe go for one with added rosemary oil.

Saturated fat (even from high quality meat)can cause your glands to produce more sebum that feeds Malassezia. Having said that, everyone is different. If you think fried food is making things worse for you, give it a break for a few weeks.

@@madamewell this is tragic. I'm currently doing carnivore as an elimination diet and to access a concentration of nutrients and now I cannot. SD only allows for diet that keeps you weak 😔

Why don't you continue doing the elimination diet while applying an antifungal cream twice a day (have you done that?). The diet may not flare your rash if your Malassezia population is under control. Carnivore diets are not meant to be long term (IMHO) so hopefully you'll be back to eating a balanced diet soon :)

@@madamewellwhat anti fungal cream do you recommend

@@Everythingtotteham ketoconazole has the most evidence behind it but you need a script for the stronger prescription. clotrimazole is OTC and the one I use and usually recommend. You can read more about your antifungal cream options here: madamewell.com/what-is-the-best-antifungal-cream-for-seborrheic-dermatitis/

You can use antifungal creams for more than 2 weeks but I usually apply twice a day for 2 weeks then give it a break and only apply as needed if I can feel a flare coming on. I have a video coming up about that but in the mean time, you can watch this one about how to stop a seb derm flare: ruclips.net/video/2coLj2ljP14/видео.html

@@madamewell this just worked so well.. I am using for a month ketoconazole 2% and no signs of flares no matter what I eat. I apply only once at night and wash it off in the morning.. But can I use it forever or whenever there's flare up? I'm just worried if it irritates my skin in the long run

That's great! 1 month is more than enough. You can stop now. I had to do a few days of antifungal cream every 3-4 weeks for the first few months because I could feel my rash starting up again but after that, I only used the antifungal cream as needed.

@@madamewell I followed your entire channel and even website. Made changes in diet and started with anti fungal creams, tea tree oil and Mct oil. For the first time in 15 years, I'm not getting any flare up from last two months..you did something which my doctors couldn't Please continue more videos on this. Thank you very much💙💙

@@vaibhav0karkera00 I'm so happy my blog and videos helped! Thank you for letting me know :)

I'm confused about your comment and its relation to this video but yes it is.

@@madamewell youre indicating chemicals are bad for seb derma in this title. I watched the video and its informative but the title is misleading. H2O is used to wash skin so how can a chemical be bad for the skin.

That's like saying we need arsenic (a mineral) because we need essential minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium) in our diet.

Dairy is pretty high up the list for foods that are inflammatory but it doesn't affect everyone negatively. If you don't feel dairy is contributing to seb derm or other issues in your life, continue enjoying it :)

@@madamewell dairy is probably 60% of my calories so no way I can live without it :) I can't eat so much meat to replace it. Since the mct oil totally removed my skin issues I won't even try :)

Bang on- MCT oil without lauric acid-i use it on my scalp and face

@@micheil-o1q how to you use it on the scalp? You just let it sit there and then rinse/shampoo or do you rub it on and leave/not rinse. I have long hair that gets oily roots so I'm ok with oil on my face but not sticking to my hair, leaving it in. Sounds promising thought, glad it helped you!

The dose makes the poison. If you have most of these things as a small part of a healthy diet, it should be fine. It's only a problem if these 'bad stuff' make up the majority of your diet. I don't usually recommend using oils as a moisturizer unless you have dry skin. And if you're using oils, maybe only use one or two essential oils because too many active essential oils can be irritating and cause more inflammation. Gentle does it :)

Yes that's a home remedy you can try. I personally can't stand the smell of ACV in my hair and find it dries my scalp and hair out, causing more flaking and itchiness. That's why I generally don't recommend it.

No, castor oil is not recommended for dandruff at all. You can start with this article for a good anti-dandruff shampoo: madamewell.com/best-shampoo-seborrheic-dermatitis/

If your daughter's skin is already inflammed from eczema and seb derm, probably best to start with a lower strength of niacinamide 5-10% instead of 20% as it may sting.

Thank you for your comment :) I have plenty of views on fixing seb derm from the inside. In fact, I think that's the only way to 'cure' it. This is a good place to start: madamewell.com/seborrheic-dermatitis/ you can click on the topics that interest you most and go from there.

I didn't even include an affiliate link.

I don't recommend it because it will make your scalp oily and greasy, which makes the itching worse. For your scalp, you're better off sticking with an antifungal shampoo like ketoconazole shampoo or a natural one like tea tree shampoo. I did a round up in this article: madamewell.com/best-shampoo-seborrheic-dermatitis/

Dermatitis is actually a general term that covers any inflammation of the skin.
