vinegar for SD and blepharitis

[sunbad]

I read about using apple cider vinegar for treating blepharitis on another
board. The poster applied vinegar to the lash line and her symptoms virtually
disappeared. I tried using acv on my brows last night and for the first time I
woke up without any flakes. I'm now going to try my lash line. Has anyone else tried this treatment? I know that acv is often used for SD of the scalp but
not sure of using it around the eye area.

BE VERY CAREFUL USING THIS ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR FACE IS YOU HAVE ROSACEA!! I tried this and it made me so red and irritated for a few days it was shocking and it stung like hell.. yes good for seb derm, cause it changes the acidity in the skin and makes it so the yeast cannot thrive in those conditions but stay away from it for your rosacea face I'd say! there is a good cream conditioner I found recommended by www.dermadoctor.com
click the article on "seborrhea", its called "IONIL RINSE" conditioner, it has apple cider vinegar in it as an ingredient. ever since I have used this after a dandruff shampoo or regular shampoo my seb derm of the scalp has improved MUCH and everything seems much more balanced on my scalp... dermadoctor highly recommends it and so do I, check it out. but be careful with this around our sensitive faces..

Yes; if you have any type of sensitive skin, whether it be seb derm, rosacea or something else, dilute the ACV with 90% water / 10% ACV before applying to affected area, and work your way up from there. Also try to obtain organic ACVWM(apple cider vinegar with mother) for it is much better for your skin.
