blepharitis

[Royal Eyeness]

There is an excellent topical facial cream available for seborrheac dermatitis. It's called PromiSeb Topical Cream. I don't know if it is available outside of the U.S. but it is here (in the U.S.) (by prescription). I have Rosacea and occasional bouts of sebhorrhea and it's very gentle and worked wonderfully. I highly recommend it. It's non-drying. I was even able to use it right on my eyebrows and on the sides of my nose right near my eyes and it did not affect my eyes at all!

Update: I just checked and I think it's called "Sebclair" in Europe.

Accutane is a poison. Don't touch this. It's really, really a poison.

Please stay away from accutane. I only took 10mg/day over the course of 6 months, and ended up with dry, red eyes. Going on accutane was the worst decision I've ever made.

I have decided tp take 10 000 mg of VITAMIN B5, to slow down my oil production on my face and in my meibomium glands..

If my eyes get more dry, I just quit taking them altogether.

Hey buddy, good to hear you! What are the docs advising you these days for depression and for seb bleph?

Vitamin B5 megadose permanent side effects here include chronic fatigue syndrome. Please be careful. You do not need that!

My daughter (seb bleph, acne rosacea, MGD) is doing well now on prescription antibacterial washes and topicals including Zineryt (Erythromycin + Zinc), Clindamycin, anti-dandruff shampoo (Zinc Pyrithione) although we cannot skip even one morning. Remember, like you she can't take oral antibiotics and I'm scared of retinoids because of the MGD, even topicals, although I know some people are cured on them if they have good monitoring by an ophthalmologist.

We have actually controlled the acne, and restored and maintained clear meibom - some good days, some bad days with a bit of infection - so please Try The Normal Topical Treatments...

I know it is difficult for you to find a derm you like. We are trying lots of different treatments to see what improves it. Have they found you an ophthalmologist and a GP you like yet? Very good to hear from you, keep us posted
