cant wait to receive my order. hoping that Biom8 will alleviate my scalp redness.
I got this about a week ago (my seborrheic dermatitis is worse this year than ever before & my rx ciclopirox shampoo & clobetasol soln were only making it worse, itching & digging at my scalp non-stop). I was desperate. For a week (since i received my biom8) ive been mixing a capsule of my probiotic into a small amount & coating my 4 spots of seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp every nighr before bed & shampooing in the am. In just 1 treatment, the least bad patch didnt itch at all the next day, and the others itched less. Every day they get better. Its been about a week & they are mostly healed & i can make it thru work without having to sneak to the bathroom to remove chunks of skin i scratched off my scalp. This is the best. Saved my scalp.
Where do I get the Biom8?
Hi there,
If you are vegetarian, i read an excellent article the other day on seaweed. Apparently it carries the omega 3 and that is how fish oil has so much as the fish ingest it. I eat kelp daily. Some friends on Rathlin Island (Ireland) produce some great stuff. Thus why I have been reading up on it. You could try it. I am veggie, so I donāt want to take fish oil. Hope this helps you. I have just been diagnosed with SD
Hi , I see that biom8 is also useful as a tanning oil. So if I donāt want to get a tan it is not Recommended to use during the day or sun exposure ? Will it still work if itās only used at night ?
Iāve had SD for more than 30 years and every year it getās worse. More than 75% of my face is covered with it. When itās bad, I look like a Zombie and that is a conservative description. I only have about 4 months of the year with clear skin and the remainder is Zombie. I am a Red Head so have type 1 skin. I bought BIOM8, oil bottle and received 3 weeks ago. This is now winter in Norther Minnesnowta and I should be 100% Zombie, but have been clear for the 3 weeks since I started BIOM8. Family and friends are saying my skin is looking better and better. Unbelievable!!! If Iām still clear by mid January, it will be nothing short of a miracle. Thank You so much. Dan PS, if clear in January, Iām ordering a CASE of it!!!
Hi michael
Do you think Biom8 would help with s.d. In the outer ear canal?
Thank you
Anne
I am really grateful that I found this website. I myself have been struggling with sebderm for the past few years. Iāve tried a lot of creams and shampoos but it keeps coming back. I recently transefered here in USA I was wondering if you would be able to help me find products that I would be able to use on a daily basis
Hi there, these are great tips. I purchased the Biom8 and used it for about 6 months. I really didnāt see any difference with the seb derm and was pretty disappointed. Iāve pretty much tried everything in the book to help clear this up, but nothing has worked. Next step is to modify my diet.
I have noticed when I tend to eat food higher in saturated fats, I get quite red and flaky on my face. Iāve suffered with dandruff on my head ever since I was little, but since about the age of 20, itās been all over my face.
Iāve tried nearly every topical cream, lotion, spray, pyrithione zine soap, all natural and organic soap, dandruff shampoo on the face, taken zinc pills and probiotics, quit smoking, only have alcohol once a week (a 6 pack), and still have problems. I can go for 6 months and my face is fine, but lately itās back and seems to just linger. Iāve been better with the scaling but itās that awful redness that seems to never want to go away. Iāve even tried aloe on my face, sprays with vitamins, aloe, and cucumber and that hasnāt helped much. It all makes my face softer so not as much flaking, but still have all that redness.
After years of suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, I have made a discovery. It has less to do with the egg itself, but more to do with the chicken feed contents.
For example, when Iām in Maine, where there are a lot of folks selling their own eggs, I typically have no reaction to them.
So, in my particular case, I canāt eat eggs unless they are 100% Organic, non-GMO.
Have SD very bad case on head. Hurts so much that i can hardly wash the oils away. Wish i could send picture? On Cephalexin, tea tree oil,clotriaaxole and betamethasone. Was at emergency room could not take flare up. Felt like i was burned on my head. See doctor tomorrow. Were do order the BIM8 Please?
Go natural. Apply coconut oil as a moisturiser after cleansing. Cleanse with a gentle cleanser for sensitive skin.
It seems most things work for the short term but not the long term. I get it very intermittently but for me I find I need to exfoliate a lot to keep the scales away. Exfoliating also helps me with acne. I use Evan Healyās green tea mask mixed with an alcohol free pure witch hazel about once a week. It does a good job of getting the dead skin off and it doesnāt seem to bother my skin. Iām experimenting with a Foreo too for exfoliation but Iām not sure if it will work long term yet. The Clarsonic was too harsh. I also have a condition where the dead skin doesnāt come off too so I need to exfoliate more heavily than most people or I break out. Iām still trying to find a good cleaner/moisturizer that works long term but I have found I need to stay away from things like sulfates and silicone which are in most products. For hair, my scalp cleared up using Briogeoās pink shampoo/conditioner. So far itās the first shampoo I havenāt had to change out constantly due to imitation. My scalp was peeling and it was spreading into my forehead when I started using it 6 months ago but it clear up in about a week and hasnāt come back yet. The downside of it is that itās leaving some build up over time in my fine hair so Iāll need to find a way to remove that soon.
My symptoms: dry, flakey and itchy skin on face, scalp and ears. However unlike most, if not all, SD sufferers my skin does not get better in the summer AT ALL. In fact the skin on my nose, around my left eye gets red and swollen when i get sun exposure. So i think i might have seborrheic dermatitis with sun allergy. Arent I lucky :D.
Anyway these are the things ive been doing since last year and it has helped me alot:
-vit d3 supplements everyday
-cod liver oil capsules every other day (retinol vit A and vit D)
-i eat salmon 5 out of 7 days, at night
-10 almonds a day (vit e)
-7 walnuts a day (omega 3, vit b12, magnesium)
-dark chocolate 1/2 square a day (for sun allergy)
-green tea (anti oxidents and sun allergy)
-3 dates a day (helps digestion)
-1 cup natural greek yogurt a day (probiotic)
-banana/ berries/ apples are the only fruits i eat, no reason just personal preference
-i also eat oatmeal w honey and flaxseed most mornings
-lemon water one glass a day
-cook with coconut or olive oil only
I also go to the gym every other day and i make sure to wash my face as soon as i am done working out with cold water.
Meditation helps ALOT. It wont solve your issues but it would help with ur way of thinking and thus help with stress
Essentially just try change unhealthy habits whether its to do with emotions or diet or lifestyle. Focus on getting your vitamin D, vitamin A (retinol type), vitamin E, omega 3 and some probiotics EVERYDAY.
How do you go about finding a good regimen for your skin without causing the condition to worsen.?
I use a face wash, actually, body wash as I now use it instead of soap. It is sold online only at Walmart. It is called Body Essence Tea Tree Oil Ultra-Moisturizing Body Wash. It is a 24 Oz pump & cost $3.74. I use Nivea for dry skin on my face. I canāt use coconut oil or straight tea tree oil. Castor oil is also good. You can buy castor oil in a roll on that looks like deodorant - you donāt have to buy that thick stuff in the bottle. Heritage Store, Castor Oil Roll-On, 3 fl oz (90 ml) is about $4-5. You might be able to find it cheaper. You can mix it - baby oil & vaseline donāt affect my skin negatively. I also donāt think Pondās cold cream does either. Iām going to buy a jar of that. I use Head & Shoulders shampoo. Hair products donāt seem to bother my scalp. I only have a severe problem when I am under stress & I lay under a red & blue light. These lights are expensive, but I bought a red & blue bulb from Amazon for $40 & put it in a desk lamp. I lay under that for 5 minutes & if I have redness, it goes away. Be sure you donāt get a plant grow bulb - they are different, but they look the same & are a lot cheaper.
Everyone has to find their own cures as Iāve read a lot about this & everyone is unique.
I am finding that the hair conditioner I was using has many of the fatty acids that feed the yeast you said to stay away from if you have sd. My question is what kinds of conditioners are there out there that donāt have any of these fatty acids in them? Iām trying to find a non medicated shampoo and conditioner to use on my off days when Iām not using head and shoulders but Iām finding all these conditioners to have the fatty acids that feed the sd in them. Please help!
Hello
Iāve now tried apple cider vinegar on my skin and scalp. It seems to work well. To not make it so sour Iāve blended it with rose water but I guess you could just use water or less vinegar. I read somewhere that sourness keeps fungus at bay. I havenāt done it every night because I forget but I have noticed some difference. But I also beleive the stress factor is a key thing. But do try the vinegar thing. I also use oil on my skin if it feels dry. I clean only with water and oil. Rarely with mild soap.
How did you go? Still clear?
