QUESTIONS: - various products that not helping severe case of Seborrheic Dermatitis
Hello David,
I am a 24/m suffering from a severe case of Seborrheic Dermatitis. I have seen two dermatologists and
have not been having strong results. The first dermatologist I saw put me on fluocinonide which did clear
my condition up for a small time but came back stronger than ever with severe flaking and hair loss.
The second dermatologist I saw put me on Nizoral 2% everyday, clobetasol in the morning, and dermasmoothe
three times a week washing it out in the morning with their own formula of Coal Tar/ Salicylic acid
for a two week period. Initially my scalp started to improve and by the end of the second week
I became encouraged. A week went by with using the nizoral 2% 3 times a week and it is coming back again.
I just talked to the doctor and she told me to resume the previous two week regiment.
Do you think that your Scalp oil should give me the relief that your other customers have had?
I am so frustrated right I am at the point of tears. Any response would be much appreciated.
The fact the coal tar/salicylic acid formula helped is encouraging.
Our formula is based on that combination with a high level of both ingredients in a
penetrating oil base which is left on the scalp overnight for maximum results.
The high concentration of active ingredients and the long contact time seems to be the advantage we believe.
You would not need to use nizoral with our product, simply wash it out with any
good brand of coal tar shampoo such as T gel etc. It doesn't even have to be a coal tar shampoo
but once control is achieved continuing with a coal tar shampoo on a daily basis seems
to work the best we have found.
Cortisone seems to suppress the condition temporarily with recurrence on ceasing treatment in many
cases so I would suggest avoiding it.
There is a good chance our product will help you and if it doesn't let us know
and we will refund your money. If it does work we really appreciate you letting us know too.
When the condition clears you should wash your hair daily anyway in the same way you wash your body every day.
I hope this answers your question and should you try the product, that you have good success with it.
Recurrences may happen and can be quickly controlled by using the product again.
As a guide, good improvement should be seen within 7 to 14 days.
Kind Regards,
David Hosking.

Good evening,
I suffer from the above and was given a
prescription for Dermasmoothe, which works ok but a bother. I
leave it in overnight and wear a plastic cap then in the morning
I have to use a fine tooth combs to remove some of the scales. It
is very messy and I have to do this often. Is your product better
than this prescription? It sound like it is. Please advise me as
I live in the United States and I know I would need to order
some. Thank you ,I would appreciate any help or advice that you can offer.

Hi B and Ross (my webdesigner)
your questions are good ones so I will get my webdesigner to add the method of
use to the website and the comparison to Dermasmoothe, so thank you for your
questions,
Dermasmoothe is a cortisone based product which suppresses scaling but like
all cortisone products tends to treat the symptoms rather than the cause.
Our Psorexederm scalp treatment is messier than dermasmoothe but quicker
acting, non-cortisone and gives long periods of relief from the problem
between recurrences as scalp psoriasis tends to recur.
The product is a brown vegetable oil based solution of coal tar which
reduces flake formation and inflammation and salicylic acid (a naturally
occurring willow tree product) which is a keratolytic that breaks down the
scales into smaller particles easily washed out of the hair.
We get very good results with it. You apply it with the dropper enclosed to
the affected areas of the scalp at night and wash it off in the morning. If
you use an old pillow slip and apply it with a lot of precision you probably
won't need to wear a cap to bed to avoid getting it on the pillowslip which
it can stain.
Use it every day for 14 days or until the problem has cleared up, whatever
comes first. If the problem is also behind your ears just apply a small
smear to the area with your fingertip.
Use a good brand of coal tar shampoo such as T-gel to wash it out which is
easily done. Just apply straight shampoo to the dry hair where you applied
the lotion the night before, massage it in to dissolve the oil and add
water, work into a lather and simply wash it out. You can use any
conditioner you wish to cover the slight tar smell which is minimal.
Once the problem has cleared up, continue to use a tar based shampoo eg
T-gel at least 3 times a week. It is ideal if you wash your hair every day
as this increases the time between recurrences.
People with long hair find this a bother so if you are in that situation at
least use the T-gel 3-4 times a week after the problem has cleared up. Any
less than that and a recurrence is more likely.
Some people feel you should not wash you hair every day. This is not correct
as you wash your body every day reducing the number of bacteria on your skin
and keeping it fresh and healthy. The same applies to hair.
As the product is cortisone free you do not risk the long term problems
associated with toxicity from the
strong cortisone fluocinolone acetonide in Dermasmoothe.
Kind Regards,
David Hosking.
