    Seb Derm = dandruff with rash

    Rosacea = facial rednes, blushing, and sometimes acompinied by acne.

    Both conditions are co-related because its a disease of oil glands. For many people on this forum they developed rosacea when going to dermatoligist to treat skin rash (seb dermatitis) and was prescribed steriod creams. Well its is now known that seteriods thin the skin permanantly and as a results aggrevate your conditons by producing facial redness (Rosacea).

    I don't have seb derm, but I'm very skeptical that rosacea is a "disease of the oil glands."

    If you do have seb derm and rosacea, it's a really difficult trick to manage both at the same time. Best of luck, though.

    Please feel free to PM me with your low-level red light therapy (LLRLT) questions. I'm happy to help if I can.

    Know what I have been away from the forum for some time because of people like you, we are all scared,worried about our conditions and asking questions and getting answers really helps, if your new to the forum you may not know where to go, but I could tell you where to go.

    Default Thank you Ajay

    I agree 100% with Ajay. So what if people ask questions a million times. I've been through nine months of Rosacea hell and now Seb. Derm. I will never tire of answering the same questions. If I can help one person just one tiny bit and help take away some of their fears, then that's a good job done. Also, information changes and some people are better and more accurate that others at explaining things. Why shouldn't we constantly evaluate what we're saying? Surely this is good practice and should promote health discussion - not a response that tells someone in need to go and get stuffed!!
    32 year old female. Tetralysal and five very succesful laser treatments with Quantum. Unsuccesful laser treatment with Palomar Starlux. Hoping to start low-dose roaccutane sometime soon. Recently diagnosed with Seb. Derm. which is my current challenge.
