Anyone ever tried Sebclair/ Promiseb Cream for Seborrhoeic Dermatitis? Need Help!

jeudi 3 septembre 2015

Background: Never had any skin problems until 15, when i had few minor flakes around nose and eyebrows. Used mild hydrocortisone (daktakort) treated it fine, however I stupidly continued to use this same steroid cream on and off for 3 years and then every single day for the next year. Whilst it did suppress the flakes and dryness, it made my face gradually become very sensitive, red and spotty and so i thought i had developed rosacea. When i completed stopped using daktacort exactly 1 year ago, I suffered a massive rebound. It wasn't like the usual topical steroid withdrawal symptoms (red skin syndrome), instead it was just like a major seb derm flare up on my face. I started using aveeno moisturising cream and this helped massively but the SD was still very present (redness, papules, dry and greasy skin) and a few weeks ago I used the same hydrocortisone again for 5 days and my skin looked great. However when i stopped and continued just using aveeno, my skin started to react badly to the moisturiser for some reason and so I think the steroid cream has made my skin overly sensitive again despite using for only 5 days and the first time in a year. My SD is back with a vengeance (only face, not scalp). I have now officially learned my lesson haha

I came across Sebclair cream, or Promiseb as it's known outside Europe i think, and it's supposed to work similarly to hydrocortisone but it has no steroids in it and is safe to use long term like you would a moisturiser. As it's rather expensive i was wondering whether anyone else has tried it before or are there other similar treatments out there which may help.

Thanks for any replies or help,
20 year old male,
