This shit is incredible. I have had seborrheic dermatitis for my entire life and while things like ketoconazole or coal tar WILL kill the yeast that causes the dandruff, it then dries out your hair and skin every other conditioner and moisturizer refeeds the yeast and brings it back. This shit got rid of redness within a single day and makes my hair look moisturized but not greasy. It also just works as a skin moisturizer on my face better than all the many lotions I've tried. I'm sure there are other skin grade mct oils from other brands, but normal coconut oil feeds the yeast so make sure it is malassia yeast starving mct.I don't have to be embarssed getting my haircut or wearing dark colors and brushing my shoulders constantly anymore.

How do I prevent an acne scar? I picked off an old scab on my forehead but there's a tiny hole like a pore. I don't want one of those little hole scars. How do I fix it now?

Use ketoconazole 1% shampoo on your face if you have sebderm, use 5AR inhibitors like fin or dut if you have bad skin, your problems are entirely caused from excessive androgen derivatives aging you prematurely.

What's the best product one can put on after shaving? I always get small, flat red bumps that sort of "itch" and dryness the day after shaving. And I'm usually dry after shaving, despite moisturizing religiously. I don't use actives until like 35 hours has passed and I don't use actives the day before shaving either. I've found that using azelaic, tret or Differin, salicylic acid dries me out more after shaving. Azelaic is probably the best one out of all of those but it still dries me out after shaving, but that's maybe because its a 20% strength.

My entire face is covered in clogged pores and blackheads, but every chemical exfoliant I've tried has been too harsh for me, even when using slightly less often than instructed on the bottle.I've tried salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and a retinoid. my face has always been like this and I'm losing hope :( What should I do?

I have transcended shaving. I have a beard (neat and no neckbeard) but since I was a kid I've always gotten lots of red blotches when I shave my neck, no matter what combo of razor/lubricant/moisturizer/balm/etc. I've only been able to shave 2, maybe 3 times per week because of this, even then my neck gets bad. However I have realised that I can use my hair clipper without the guard on and shave my neck hair down to 0.5mm/0.019" with *zero* irritation. This is only the length of 1-2 days growth and no ugly red blotches! I've only been doing this for a week and already all the blotches on my neck have completely cleared up. I look a bit better in the mirror now. This is the new normal now. I'd rather permanently look like I shaved yesterday than look like I glued a small pizza to my neck.

Any advice for eyelid eczema? Started around half a year ago, not sure what triggered it. Went to a dermatologist, but they just did an allergy prick test (which only tested positive for mold) and prescribed hydrocortisone cream, which does help, but as soon as i stop using it the eczema flares up again about a day later. Any moisturizer i’ve tried so far (my regular Cetaphil one as well as anti-allergic eyelid ones) burn, cause my eyelids to swell, and become even more red.
